Bus/Financial
French term or phrase: dans les faits
Context (not important) - assistance program for developing countries. I just can't quite guess what the expression 'dans les faits' means, although I'm sure it's very common. Can anyone help?
"Dans les faits, ceci peut passer par le dialogue existant ... pour ce qui est de la coordination au niveau global et politique et, au niveau opérationnel, par chaque Etat bénéficiaire en ce qui concerne la bonne cohérence des différentes aides."

Explanation:
Practically speaking, this can be expressed....

Selon le contexte de la phrase, je crois que l'on peut remplacer "dans les faits" par "en réalité".

Hope this helps,
