(Efforts towards) collaboration/cooperation


Explanation:
...efforts towards collaboration/cooperation...
"towards" partially preserves the notion of "acercamiento" as a process of moving in a certain direction, while "collaboration/cooperation" indicates the direction in which the efforts are moving.

Since "coordination" implies a sequential execution, I would leave it alone this time, unless the context warrants its use.

Context, again, will determine the choice of collaboration/cooperation, probably based on how active or passive the engagement.

All the best!
