Science - Medical: Health Care / health budget
Spanish term or phrase: estamos reforzando
La aplicación de las vacunas es también una labor preventiva ya que se hace anualmente y se debe completar el esquema de inmunización del Departamento de Salud para todos los niños menores de 3 años. En este caso estamos reforzando con un pequeño presupuesto al ya existente en el POA para fortalecer esta acción.

En lo personal, no creo que aplique una traducción literal. Alguna sugerencia estimados colegas. Probablemente:

In this case, we are 'including/attaching' a small budget apart from the existing Annual Operating Plan (POA) in order to reinforce this action.

Sugerencias, comentarios son bienvenidos.

we are intensifying


Explanation:
One option!

In this case, we are intensifying/increasing our efforts by adding a low budget to the one that already exists in the AOP

“[We are] intensifying our efforts, building on our progress to date in strengthening the supply of services and commodities, and, less well-recognized, enhancing demand - increasing the capacity of poor and disadvantaged people to access these services,” said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake in outlining the initiative's goals.

we are beefing up


Explanation:
A slightly less formal alternative that drives home the import of “reforzar”, to make stronger: “we are beefing up the budget with a small additional budget”.
