International Org/Dev/Coop / Application of New Techno
English term or phrase: speak to .... upfront
Source text:

Identifying the district/communities you wish to evaluate the technology in

Agreeing participation of district staff and use of national headquarters for the training and the scoring exercise

Inviting relevant people to use the new technology with: producers and local providers of the technology (private sector and NGOs), local and national government staff, other NGOs, donors

Speaking to the producer/provider upfront to gather information about the costs of the technology

Por el contexto podría ser *hablar directamente*?

antes
Explanation:
Me parece que en este contexto "antes" es una alternativa porque el párrafo habla de averiguar costos, lo que uno quiere saber antes de involucrar otras personas que es lo que menciona el párrafo anterior.

Consideraría aquí upfront upfront en el sentido de in advance.
Habría que ver un poco más del contexto para confirmar si esta es la mejor elección.
