Effectiveness and Efficiency - Concepts




Effectiveness is the extent to which outputs of service providers meet the objectives set for them.

Efficiency is the success with which an organization uses its resources to produce outputs — that is the degree to which the observed use of resources to produce outputs of a given quality matches the optimal use of resources to produce outputs of a given quality. This can be assessed in terms of technical, allocative, cost and dynamic efficiency.
