Spanish term or phrase: al no concretar sinergias
La complementariedad surge del hecho que la iniciativa y sus socios contaban con recursos limitados y que el desarrollo de mercados requiere de importante recursos públicos y privados para alcanzar puntos de masa crítica.

Liberar recursos de la inversión pública en agua y saneamiento de aquellos segmentos de la población que puede invertir son sus propios recursos, y destinarlos a los más pobres, es una estrategia efectiva y podía servir como el “elemento galvanizador” y de venta de la alianza a los actores públicos.

Sin embargo, esta visión de complementariedad no logró permear con fuerza entre los socios de la iniciativa y el equipo técnico y pudo haber debilitado las acciones de intervención de la iniciativa, ***al no concretar sinergias*** con el sector público y lograr una mayor participación y recursos en las tareas de sensibilización, promoción y asistencia técnica en ASH a la población meta.

My try:

However, this vision of complementarity did not succeed in the partners of the initiative and the technical team may have [negatively] affected the actions launched by the initiative ***as they failed to conduct joint efforts *** with actors/stakeholders of the public sector.

I would keep "synergy" in the singular and an alternative could be "as there was no cooperation" but I think you should stick with "synergy" as there's absolutely no reason to shy away from it...

However, this vision of complementarity did not succeed in getting through to/making a forceful impact on those involved in the initiative and the technical team may have [negatively] affected the actions launched by the initiative as there was no (evidence of) synergy with the public sector...

forget the previous version as we're missing an "y" so here's the new version:

However, this vision of complementarity did not succeed in getting through to/making a forceful impact on those involved in the initiative and the technical team AND may have [negatively] affected the actions launched by the initiative as there was no (evidence of) synergy with the public sector...
