English term or phrase: larger
I might be confused by the word "lived" here. Does the end of the sentence mean "regarding their more significant common experiences," or maybe "more comprehensive common experiences" ........ ?

Unlike many international projects, locally owned efforts are closely informed by and respond to local needs, including those regarding their larger lived experiences.

boarder / wider
Explanation:
I think here it is being used in the sense of 'broader / wider experience that they have lived through personally' — in other words, more intimate knowledge of the totality of experience in the field, rather than some distant, narrow observation of it seen from some far-off ivory tower.
