English translation: parent organisation

Social Sciences - International Org/Dev/Coop / use of a FR word in an EN context

French term or phrase: tutelle

An additional potential risk is that the institutions will not have a clear commitment by their organisation of “tutelle” or by its own management to set aside adequate resources to complete the project.

This is an EU text on edication, specifically on e-learning in Meditarranean partner countries.

The EN is quite poor, which doesn't help with understnading what/how "tutelle" is used.

I know that "tutelle" is trusteeshipo or guardianship, but I wonder can anyone make sense of the above use of "tutelle".

TIA:-)

overseeing authority

Explanation:
A Wikipedia reference gives this term in its definition of autonomy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence
"a kind of independence which has been granted by an overseeing authority that itself still retains ultimate authority over that territory "
A ministry or other organisation can be an "xx de tutelle", (e.g. a research organisation/group may come under the 'tutelle' of the Ministry of Education). The government or representatives will exercise a certain control over these groups (checks, safeguards on standards etc.) - the 'pouvoir de tutelle' is contrasted with 'pouvoir hiérarchique'

So, I meant to add, 'overseeing authority' could perhaps be used in the same way to refer to this type of relationship , and not just to autonomous territories

tutelle

Explanation:
Here in Australia, the French government is sponsoring PhD thesis in "co-tutelle", where the PhD student is supervised by an Australian, and a French supervisor, his thesis is conducted in both institutions, and, in the end, the PhD recognised as originated from both institutions. Th Australian have readily adopted the "co-tutelle" expression without bothering translating. I am not sure if that fit your text, but I would suspect other country to do the same, in a similar context.
Hope it helps
