Buenas tardes

El texto a continuación es parte del resumen ejecutivo de una organización local:

Para avanzar en el cumplimiento de su visión [la organización] se planteó como misión ser una organización comprometida con la transformación personal y comunitaria que desarrolla capacidades prácticas y artísticas de mujeres y hombres de todas las edades con enfoque integral en espacios creativos y un ambiente de respeto, solidaridad y espiritualidad.

Muriel Vasconcellos Jul 28, 2020:
Not 'focus' 'Focus' is a narrowing of attention. In this case, the author is talking about a broad, comprehensive approach. Using 'focus' is contradictory. (Note that 'approach' is the *first* translation of "enfoque" in Linguee.)

with a comprehensive approach

I very often translate "enfoque" as 'approach'.

"Focus" is awkward here because you want to emphasize that it's broad/integrated/comprehensive, and yet 'focus' refers to a narrowing of one's attention.

Note that 'approach' is the *first* translation of "enfoque" in Linguee:

enfoque sustantivo, masculino (plural: enfoques m)
approach s (plural: approaches)
Resolvimos el viejo problema con un nuevo enfoque. We resolved the old problem with a new approach.

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : 'Focus' means a narrowing of attention, whereas the idea is a *broad* approach.
