national school for regional training (école nationale à vocation régionale)
Hello,
Perhaps translate it like this and put the actual French term in parentheses just for clarity. I'm not sure exacly what a "école nationale" is and if we have an exact equivalent in English-speaking countries.
Maybe it's best to stick the word "training" in the English translaton
à vocation régionale = regional (intended for "regional" purposes)
to delocalize the training of African officers from France to Africa by creating regional training schools (ecoles nationales a vocation regionale. ...

I hope this helps.

: I agree with you about having "école nationale" in French, but not "à vocation régionale", which I think should just be translated.

Hello. Perhaps "école nationale for regional training." Bon week-end.

Discussion
Perhaps the English translation will need the French term to be put in parentheses for clarity's sake.
It's late here, so I will have to research more this tomorrow.
