GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

International Org/Dev/Coop / possible Ecuadorian use?
Spanish term or phrase: documento del Programa (here)
Este comité se reunirá cada seis meses; sus funciones serán las de orientar estratégicamente y realizar el seguimiento y aprobación del """DOCUMENTO DEL PROGRAMA""", así como los programas de trabajo y presupuestos anuales. Un comité de gestión asumirá la coordinación operacional.

____________

Does "documento" have a completely different use here?
This is an executive committee for the running of a Joint Programme in Ecuador (to put right socio-economic inequities), and it seems unlikely that they'll be called on to monitor and approve the Programme's "document", as well as the scheduling and budgets. So, as far as I can see, documento must have quite a different meaning here!

I don't see anything relevant in the 112 entries in the Kudoz glossary...

Any suggestions would be most gratefully received - many thanks!

Programme document
Explanation:
This is used by all UN, WB & IADB programmes (and USAID programs). The programme document outlines the plans, projects and activities programmed, and is amended as needs change, and obviously each amendment requires approval by those responsible (including the donor).
I have had situations here where programmes focusing on assistnce for children with AIDS (Save the Children) have had their programme documents amended to incorporate temporary shelter needs due to an earthquake, etc

Many thanks Richard! I have to confess that this seemed so unlikely (to me) that I never even checked this possibility... Sometimes the obvious solution needs to be corroborated by the experts.

Documentation of (the program's) progress


Explanation:
A guess, but maybe it's meant as a verb -- to document?

Explanation:
documento del programa means to write down in wording the programme and the rest of the programmes as well.

I would use :

for the follow-up, the approval and the register of the programme ...

Possibly you can come up with another word for "put down in writing"...

Notes to answerer
Asker: many thanks Sagitario! I think you were along the right lines, but Richard's proposal seems to be the official term.
