: Yes, though I'd suggest starting with "By incorporating..." and then "the initiative brought...". Also, I suspect there may be a better word than "incorporating" but a little more context would be needed.

Discussion
In this context the "experience" is a water and sanitation project.
I think more context is needed to understand what they mean with "la experiencia"
