There must be some better option than 'breeding ground project'...

breeding ground project
er is wellicht een pakkender vertaling, maar volgens mij is 'breeding ground project' niet per definitie fout. Dus mocht je geen andere suggesties krijgen, dan kun je gewoon de vertaling gebruiken die je zelf al had gevonden.

National Examples: Good model practices
The Netherlands:
· The Multicultural Institute for Political Participation (MIPP) aims at attracting more black, migrant and refugee women into politics on a long-term basis. The MIPP has opted for a political network as a support model, which is called the 2002 *Breeding Ground Project* and it aims at training black, migrant and refugee women for political functions. The project continues until the end of 2002 and consists of different course modules.

: Breeding ground is often interpreted as a place or situation where something bad or harmful grows or develops. The name of the Dutch project you refer to is a very unfortunate choice, probably an English translation by a non-native.

Preparation project
Perhaps "preparation project" would work?
e.g. "Women's Programs
also administers the Women's Employment Preparation Project
(WEPP), a "tuition-based" pre-employment program for women in transition
from home to the employment market. "
