Facilitate means to make something easier or less difficult, to help forward an action or process, or to help people deal with a process or reach an agreement or solution without getting directly involved in the process or discussion yourself. Here are some examples of how to use the word:

• "Careful planning facilitates any kind of work"
• "Her rise to power was facilitated by her influential friends"
• "The moderators role is to facilitate the discussion by asking appropriate questions"

Facilitating can involve helping to remove obstacles, providing resources, or simply asking the right questions to guide a process or discussion.
