French term or phrase: ensembles territoriaux cohérents
Yet another seemingly simple term whose correct translation has evaded me... It seems that "territorial units" is a common enough translation for "ensembles territoriaux," but I am not sure if it fits in this context (funding of public services in Tunisia) and I am not sure how best to translate "cohérents" without being certain of the first part. My current best guess is "cohesive territorial units" but a guess is all it is.

Des ***ensembles territoriaux cohérents*** pour des projets locaux non-souverains

L’efficacité économique, comme la gestion territoriale de proximité qui permet la mobilisation des ressources locales, sont à rechercher à l’échelle régionale ou /et dans le cadre ***d’ensembles territoriaux cohérents***. Ceux-ci peuvent être urbains avec une interdépendance entre centre et périphéries ou ruraux avec principalement une exigence d’accessibilité routière et d’accès à l’eau.

Hmm, not being mean, but normally it's first ANSWER posted that gets the points. (There are lots of occasions where people put an answer down in discussion or as ref or even as a comment on an answer, but it's the person who posts it as an answer who gets the points:-))

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you gallagy and andres. I should have been able to figure this out, shouldn't I have? It is probably time to call it a day and rest my sad useless brain.

Asker: Since andres-larsen did post this suggestion a few minutes before you as a reference, I am going to wait and see if he will submit it as an answer. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out :)
