Spanish term or phrase: "instancia de reconocimiento"
In a letter from a Sagrado Corazon school in Mexico. This comes in a list of positive aspects of the school:

"Existe una vinculación con las instancias de reconocimiento oficial con sentido de responsibilidad y cooperación para asegurar relaciones positivas y eficazes que garantizan la validación y reconocimiento actulizado del Estado"

Thank you in advance

Explanation:
I give it a 'confidence level of 3' as without more context I don't know if there is a more specific word for these 'agencies'.

  -> Thanks, Onidia :)
neutral  philgoddard: Doesn't it mean accreditation bodies? I think they're doing the recognising, not being recognised. That's why it says "que garantizan la validación y reconocimiento actulizado del Estado"

  -> Hmm, maybe I've read it the wrong way round. I think it's odd though to talk about 'accreditation bodies' with 'a sense of responsibility and cooperation' - isn't that a given in accreditation bodies?
agree  neilmac: Agree with Phil's take on it. I think the "sentido de responsibilidad " refers to the "vinculación", i.e. the spirit of the link rather than the "instancias" per se...
