International Org/Dev/Coop / Social project
English term or phrase: let alone
Texto fuente:
There is overdependence on community management through community committees which struggle to stay functional themselves let alone oversee community services functionality.
The capacity of local governments to support long-term maintenance remains weak, highlighting the need to remain focused on the achievement of stronger local governments as a long term objective.

Traducción del texto:
Existe una dependencia extrema de la gestión comunitaria mediante los comités comunitarios que luchan por mantenerse funcionando, mucho menos? supervisar el funcionamiento de los servicios comunitarios.

La capacidad de los gobiernos locales de apoyar el mantenimiento a largo plazo continua siendo escasa/limitada, destacando la necesidad de continuar centrados en el éxito/logro de gobiernos locales más fuertes como un objetivo a largo plazo.

posiblemente esté traduciendo mal let alone porque dicha acepción no se ajusta al contexto.

ni qué hablar


Explanation:
Se da una excesiva dependencia de la gesión de la comunidad a través de las comisiones comunitarias, las cuales a duras penas se las arreglan para mantener su propia funcionalidad, ni qué hablar supervisar la funcionalidad de los servicios comunitarios.

Explanation:
El sentido de la frase, según lo veo yo, es que los comités están teniendo dificultades para manera su propia funcionalidad, por no mencionar su capacidad para vigilar/supervisar la funcionalidad de los servicios comunitarios
