initiatives
I think "initiatives" is most widely used in this context and best sounding. "Actions" is also a good choice.
The meaning of 状況 is "(the current) state of" but I would not use it in English in this case; this word is used very (too) often in Japanese without carrying much meaning, whereas "state of" is not used that often in English and tends to sound like you are trying to mean something. The same author would not use "state of" if s/he were writing in English. If you use it here, it will sound like a piece of translation than natural English.

state of the effort / status of the endeavor / current state of the project
I like "endeavor" better but it seems to be much less used. As far as "status/state" is concerned, I'd use state rather than status.
There are plenty of hits for both options but the "state" ways seems to refer to any arbitrary period of the project's evolution, while the "status" sounds more like a timely report.
Also, the "current state of the project" could be a totally different but still valid way to translate that.

If that is the title of a paragraph, then a little about the content of that paragraph would behelpful. I suspect it has something to do with the "level (or status) of involvement of government agencies." I don't think the term "initiative" in relevant here.

Note from asker:
| This is the whole paragraph title |
| Below is the whole paragraph under the title. 実施機関は本報告書を待って運輸大臣に提出し、本案件を推し進める希望を持っている。しかし、中国の投資者等第3国が資源確保のために、本案件の代替案を提案しており国際競争がいっそう激しくなってきている。その背景の中で日本側から、○○国にとってどの程度優位な条件をオファーできるかが、今後円滑に進められるかどうかの分岐点になるはずである。 |
