De ahí que se haya querido hacer un esfuerzo especial mediante la creación, en 2008, de una ventanilla para la Infancia, la Seguridad Alimentaria y la Nutrición dotada con más de 50 millones de euros en el Fondo para los Objetivos del Milenio que España ha depositado en el PNUD.
In French I have seen the term "guichet", if that helps anyone out there. I am just not sure of what exactly would be the correct term in English, though the concept is clear. Thanks in advance for your help. Saludos,

Comment: "OK thanks everyone! Taña´s answer worked well: I used "thematic window" with a note suggesting "funding window" as an alternative for the proofreader to consider, so thanks very much. Have a good week everyone!"

window of opportunity
It implies funding , but that comes up later in the sentence anyway, and I think the part to emphasize here is "opportunity." The text is saying that the opportunity came up when the funding became available.
