French term or phrase: portage politique

It is a text about setting up transfrontier co-operation arrangements between local authorities.

"Concernant les partenaires de la coopération, dans cette première phase, il s'agit d'avoir une approache large en tenant compte de part et d'autre des frontières des paramètres de portage politique (qui soutient la démarche et sur quel point) et des paramètres juridiques (quelles sont les compétences détenues par chaque niveau de collectivité et d'autorité)."

I assume it basically means political support, but am not sure whether this would be missing some aspect of it (and also am going to have to use the word support in the part in brackets).

Explanation:
I agree with your understanding of "portage politique" - this would be a way to avoid repeating "support" (the second part of your question!).
