Spanish term or phrase: canalización de fondos

This is a timeline entry in a report on housing subsidy programs in Peru:

The sentence is "Se construye la canalización de fondos de la IFI." (IFIs are Instituciones Financieras Intermediarias)

This refers to the process of channeling funds from a government subsidy program to low-income beneficiaries. I'd like to either recast the sentence using "channel" as a verb or come up with a noun phrase that properly captures "la canalización de fondos" (but is less awkward than "the channeling of funds.") I've been considering something like "the funding pipeline," but I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.

Any ideas?

Gracias de antemano.

Asker: Thanks, Barbara! What's confusing about the ST wording is that it states "fondos de la IFI", as if the funds originated with the intermediary. The broader context, however, suggests that the funds originate with a gov. program and are then canalizado through / por / a través de la IFA. So on the one hand, "infusion" makes complete sense. On the other, it doesn't seem to fit the broader context. (Stumped emoji :)

2 hrs confidence:

pass-through of funds

Explanation:
> pipelining of funds is close to the asker's original idea and perhaps no better than 'chanel(l)ing of funds. Pass-through may work well for US Am vs. BrE consumption.

Siphoning (off) does not appear apposite as low-income beneficiaries seem to be the intended recipients, so no diversion of funds, and 'trickle-down' or 'filter-through' connote a slow process.

Se construye is not part of the question, but consider a phrase with 'what is being set up or constructed is a ...'.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Hi Adrian. Thanks for your research! I agree that siphoning off, trickle-down, and filter-through miss the mark, and appreciate the confirmation that pipelining may be a near synonym. And yes! "se construye" is also key. I read this as akin to designed, but also like your suggestion of "set up", or perhaps "established." this would cover the implementation as well as the design that "se construye" seems to denote.

Thanks again for the discussion.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for the response! I fully agree that this is the most accurate, but struggle with the rather passive construction that results from "The channeling of IFI funds is designed." I'm in touch with the author to confirm who was responsible for this design, in which case I could possibly recast to "X designs the channeling of IFI funds." Because these are timeline entries, the sentence structure needs to match that of the other entries (Subject / Verb / Object in the present tense).
