Spanish term or phrase: actividades de formación y divulgación
Por ello, la Agencia debe involucrarse activamente en actividades de formación y de divulgación en este campo.

From the same text as before. I know it refers to training activities, but not sure about the second term and how to fit them together.
Thanks.

"..... the Agency should actively participate in training and information disclosure within this field."
This option does away with the need to include both "actively" and "activities".... ;)

the agency should engage in both training and educational activities regarding such matters


Explanation:
Or, if it fits better, "in these areas" instead of "regarding such matters."

Alternative phrasing:

the agency should provide both training and information regarding such matters

I think that "educational" (or, in my alternative proposal, "information") works better than either "disclosure activities" or "informational activities" for "actividades de divulgación" here, and that this wording reads like idiomatic English. And no need to translate the redundant "activamente" or "actividades de" here.

Suerte.
