share / proportion
'der Anteil' and 'die Partizipation' both have to do with involvement or participation. 'Anteil' more often means a specific part of a whole, for example a percentage, a share of profits, or ownership in a company. 'Partizipation' more often means that someone takes part, helps decide, or is involved. In business, 'Partizipation' can also mean a financial stake and is then closer to 'Anteil'. The words can be confused because both express involvement. If you mean an amount or a part, 'Anteil' fits. If you mean involvement or participation, 'Partizipation' fits better.
