English term or phrase: and that is offset against...
Bonsoir

Je ne comprends pas cette phrase, je pense qu'il manque quelque chose ?
"and that is offset against the communities need for work."

Contexte :
"It needs access between the two halves of the Tsavo National park.
It needs to use the ranches and the Kasigau area as a corridor
and that is offset against the communities need for work."

merci d'avance
