French term

cascade

French to English Social Sciences International Org/Dev/Coop
"Approche - formation organisations nationales 1er trimestre année 1, cascade par celles-ci au niveau régional 2ème trimestre année 1, cascade par celles-ci au niveau sous régional 3ème trimestre année 1, cascade par celles-ci au niveau OCB 4ème trimestre année 1."

This is the context - it's a document from an international organization about the fight against HIV/AIDS. I've looked at the other entries for 'cascade,' but can't figure out what it means in this context. Ideas?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +6 roll-out
4 cascading training (or courses)
2 +1 series (of training courses)
3 -3 escalation

roll-out

I see a fair amount of this sort of thing and we usually get round it by using this type of expression. So this would give at the beginning (I'm not doing the whole thing!)
Approach - training of national organisations in Q1 of year 1, rolled out to a regional level in Q2 of year 1...and so it goes.

Pour Valérie, excusez-moi je faisais référence à la question de Krys sur le look de Rafael Nadal où il y a une véritable mer rouge! (See Eng-Fr board).

Many thanks Terry
agree Tony M : Ideal solution!

You're a gent, Tony
agree writeaway : this is what kudoz is supposed to do-you've had workplace experience with the term in this context and you're sharing it with colleagues who haven't. not dictionary questions, but genuine probs with specific terminology.

many thanks writeaway for those kind words
agree df49f (X) : works well to describe the concept (rollout is ideal for a lot of these trendy French words like décliner ou déployer ;))

thanks dominique
agree Lisa Molle Troyer : Yes, roll-out is one of those life-saver words. But mostly hi there!

escalation

disagree Tony M : Contre-sens ; il s'agit de faire passer la formation vers le bas... // :-))

oops, you're right!
disagree Leny Vargas : yes, contre-sens
31 mins
oops, you're right... mea culpa, j'ai répondu trop vite
disagree Marc Glinert : never seen so much red etc. never mind Valéie, happens to us all

makes me feel sooo much better that you have never seen so much red ;-) I had already made my mea culpa!
neutral writeaway : you tried and you missed. an honest try. deserves a neutral imho. dishonest tries by people should get the red card
5 hrs
Thanks :-)
neutral df49f (X) : bah... no big deal! we've all done this before! this way we'll have the answer when a question comes up with "escalade" instead of cascade ! ;-) :-)

following on from Tony's comments, perhaps delivery would fit context
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : I have to disagree slightly – 'a series' is subtly different from 'in series', which is I believe the key concept here; 'passing the training on down the heirarchy'
9 mins
agree entirely :-)
agree writeaway : maybe not 100% right, but maybe it is. think it is along those lines. somewhere
1 hr
many thanks :-)
neutral df49f (X) : agree that this is not entirely inappropriate (and certainly does not deserve a big red disagree!) - just misses the concept of "cascading down the levels" - plus it's a good starting point for collective brainstorming :)

thanks ... that was the original idea and reason for low confidence level :-)
