Hola,

Estoy tratando de encontrar el equivalente en inglés de este "término".

Los hallazgos del diagnóstico refuerzan la importancia de crear y potenciar los sistemas de protección social en el ámbito local donde los gobiernos locales tienen un rol clave para proveer los servicios sociales **(compensadores)***, y al mismo tiempo, establecer modelos de gobernanza local para el involucramiento de diversos actores en los planes locales que refuercen los factores de arraigo comunitario.

Thank you. I suppose one could say: "... reinforce the importance of creating and strengthening social protection systems where local governments play a key role in providing compensatory social services ... (leaves out the redundancy "local ...").

Countervailing/ counterbalancing

The diagnostic findings reinforce the importance of creating and strengthening social protection systems at local level where local governments have a key role to play in providing countervailing /counterbalancing social services, and at the same time, establishing local governance models for the involvement of various players in local plans that reinforce community anchoring factors.

Spanish term (edited): compensador

remedial

I am sure, neither of the professional wisdom of omitting the qualifier as 'redundant', nor - despite the first weblink - of equating such services with countervailing and counterbalancing duties and taxes.

BTW, compensatory or compensating social services sounds like the recipients, targets or victims are being paid off.


Example sentence:

También hay factores que actúan en contra de la emergencia de un problema (social): factores contenedores, *compensadores* o protector

Members of the incident-response team should develop a response plan and implement *remedial* actions. excellence > Los miembros del equipo de respuesta a incidentes deben desarrollar un plan de respuesta e implementar acciones *compensatorias*.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Taña Dalglish : "compensatory" meaning "offsetting" does not mean "remedial" (intended as a remedy or cure) Think of it, for instance, one link spoke of compensatory financial contributions e.g. for disabled persons.
