I was wondering if a native speaker (or anybody brighter than I am!) could give me the meaning of "as" in the sentence below, help me find its antecedent, or plainly clarify the whole sentence for me. Thank you!

I'm pretty confident that the meaning of 'as' here is 'comme' or 'à titre de...'.
However, I have to say, I am very far from clear what the antecedents are — on the face of it, it looks like 'promote and consolidate', but comparing these two verbs to the noun 'contributions' actually sounds all wrong to me; so either the writer got their grammar muddled up, or else I'm wrong, and the antecedents are all of those preceding nouns listed. I have to confess it's all abit gobbledy-gook to me and I don't really know what they're trying to get at; maybe your wider context makes it clearer to you!

'en tant que...' as Anca says.

à titre de
à titre de contributions ou en tant que contributions. The first option is more elegant and idiomatic.
