Spanish term or phrase: ejecución del gobierno
De igual forma, se sitúan las direcciones para la ejecución del gobierno, las políticas públicas y el sector privado.

English translation:Governance
Explanation:
I understand “ejecución del gobierno” as a synonym of “governance” in this context.

My interpretation:
De igual forma, se sitúan las direcciones para la ejecución del gobierno, las políticas públicas (...)
Likewise, the guidelines are set [not sure about set] for the governance, public policies (…)

"Se sitúan" is rather confusing to me, Without the full context I am uncertain if it can be understood as "are set" or not. I am not sure.

carryout the affairs/business of the government


Explanation:
...in relation to (both) public policy (or policies) and the private sector.

The Spanish could be clearer (to which I allude in Discussion).

Possible translation:
Likewise, the government offices/directorates are poised/well-positioned to carryout the affairs of the government in relation to public policy and the private sector.

I hope this helps!

i also agree with Robert's suggestion (of 'business').

Another option could be 'carryout/conduct governmental matters in relation to...'

Thus, there are several viable options, but reflecting the author's intent (in relation to 'sector privado') may require some reworking or trans-editing.

Or even better, 'carry out...'

agree  David Hollywood: "carry out" gets my vote
1 hr
  -> Thanks, David. And yes, 'carry out'! Cheers :-)
neutral  Robert Forstag: It seems strange that you would agree with my suggestion and then go ahead and post a separate suggestion in which one of the options is identical to a suggestion I posted several hours earlier, while the other is a minor variant thereof.
