German term

Flächenwirksamkeit

German to English Science International Org/Dev/Coop
Das Vorhaben beschleunigt dies und führt dazu, dass die Strategie rascher als Minderungsinstrument im Land wirksam werden kann. Dies geschieht mit großer ***Flächenwirksamkeit***, weil nicht einzelne Projekte, sondern alle gebirgigen Regionen, die unter das Mandat in dem Land fallen hieran beteiligt sein werden.

I understand what they're trying to say, but can't think of a good word/words for it.
