Spanish term or phrase: transferencia
In the field of international cooperation, this refers to institutions, in this case vocational schools, set up by an NGO, the management of which is later "transferred" to local institutions. I am sure "transfer" would be understood, but I was just wondering whether there is an established term for this.

This is related to the term "apropiación" which also features in this excerpt, and which I will ask as a separate question.

"En el caso de Colombia, el proceso de transferencia de las escuelas se inicia en el año 2007, estando liderada su apropiación por el Ministerio de Cultura a través de la Dirección de Patrimonio y el SENA (servicio nacional de Aprendizaje), institución que tiene delegada la formación profesional en Colombia."

Explanation:
I see this as simply referring to the transfer or handing over of responsibilities. As the saying goes "if it waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck…"

neutral  neilmac: Relocating means shifting to another location, but I don't think this works for handing over the running of the school.
