uma visão menos abonatória

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Economics Post-pandemic recovery in Africa
This is a text from Angola.

Emobora ainda haja no continente um défice no que tem que ver com a capacitação, os jovens podem trabalhar com o governo e organizações da sociedade civil de forma directa e/ou como ponte, propondo soluções para poder preencher as lacunas cujas o governo e as organizações da sociedade tenham **uma visão menos abonatória**, tendo em conta os diversos factores que empurram as famílias africanas para extrema pobreza, analfabetismo, falta de saneamento básico, e consequentemente doeças.

Thank you, everyone! Thanks to your contributions, I got a clear idea of the intent. I ended up entirely rephrasing the idea,
Mario Freitas Jul 2, 2021:
Favorable is very good "Abonatória" here means it represents some kind of advantage or benefit to the subject, that is, this point of view actually advocates instead of criticizing the subject. "Menos abonatória" = something that will not defend what should actually be criticized.
Mark Robertson Jul 2, 2021:
@Oliver Unlikely. The verb to warrant means to guarantee (gua and wa are homophonic in Norman French, which results in warranty = guarantee). A warranting view would be an opinion that guarantees something. The various meanings of abono include a guarantee of a debt or other obligation, or guarantee of the identity or signature of someone. So, I am unsure what you think to warranting means.
Oliver Simões Jul 2, 2021:
Muriel, Most likely it means “warranting”. Please check out references in my answer.
Mark Robertson Jul 2, 2021:
@Muriel Magnanimous possibly, but I think the context refers to the reasons why governments and NGOs are less willing to support certain causes, perhaps because they have a lesser PR value/positive political impact.

It is interesting to note that abonatório seems to be most frequently used is a negative context, e.g. nada abonatório, não muito abonatório
Muriel Vasconcellos (asker) Jul 2, 2021:
How about... 'magnanimous vision'? I'm looking for something that fits this particular context.

a less warranting view

abonatório: Que confirma as boas qualidades de algo ou alguém (ex.: esta descrição não é nada abonatória). https://dicionario.priberam.org/abonatório

abonatório: (adj.) warranting
https://michaelis.uol.com.br/moderno-ingles/busca/ingles-por...

warrant: Something that provides assurance or confirmation; a guarantee or proof. https://www.thefreedictionary.com/warranting

For sure, that’s not a common construction. I couldn’t find any examples of “warranting view” or “warranting opinion”. I did find “warranting force” and also “warranting expectation” (as a verb, not adjective).

“My idea was that if the default warrant that supports knowledge through
interlocution depended for its warranting force on perception or perceptual belief, these two possibilities would not exist—or at least would not be so frequently realized.”

“What seemed to carry the positive warranting force was the reliable causal chain and the conceptual competence…”

“The fnost inclusive attitude is that the junior college should be located in a school district maintaining a high school and warranting expectation of an enrollment ade­ quate for proper development of the institution.”

a less positive view

Example sentence:

Early analytic philosophy had a less positive view of ordinary language.

But a more positive view of value stocks should be paired with a less positive view of growth stocks—largely technology.
