Spanish term

de efecto

Spanish to English Other International Org/Dev/Coop
This is a UNDP document for a millenium goal project in Nicaragua. The words "de efecto(s)" appear several times throughout the document, and I am completely clueless as to what it means:

Un representante de cada socio líder *de efecto*

Un representante de cada agencia del SNU líder *de efecto*

Invitar a reuniones con todo el conjunto de agencias e instituciones participantes del programa a nivel *de efectos*

Velar por el buen funcionamiento de la Comisión Coordinadora y de los Equipos Operativos *de Efecto*

Cada socio y agencia deberá preparar los insumos necesarios para estos informes, los cuales se compilarán a nivel *de Efecto* (por los Equipos Operativos) y a nivel del Programa (por el/la Coordinador/a).

En caso de conflictos entre los socios y las agencias, estos se tratarán de resolver de manera amigable en cada nivel (Equipo *de Efecto*, Comisión Coordinadora)...


I've searched several UN-related databases and found nada de nada.

Any ideas?

Not at all sure about his but there are hits form "UN team on the ground" which might fit the context.

of influence / of significance

Seems to fit the context without departing far from the meaning of "efecto." (E.g., leader of influence)

a nivel de efectos: at effect level; líder de efecto: leader at effect level/effect-level leader

I think it simply refers to the "effect" of the programme; in the UNDP text below, the effects of the programme are listed as "Efecto 1", "Efecto 2" and "Efecto 3":

Se definen las siguientes agencias líderes ***a nivel de efecto del Programa***, las cuales deberán asegurar la coordinación inter-agencial de las actividades: ***Efecto 1***. Agencia líder: PNUD/UNFPA. ***Efecto 2***: Agencias líder: PNUD/ONUDI/FAO/OMT ***Efecto 3***: Agencia líder: OIT/UNFPA.
http://sdnhq.undp.org/opas/es/proposals/suitable/1416

An example in English:
Indicators for effects of the interventions: the most important expected results ***at effect level*** (for the contract period), with the related indicators and the way they will be assessed.

actually I think the correct term is "outcome" as per Liz' answer and this reference, also a UNDP text:

UNDP is the convener of Cluster 5 on democratic governance, and supports ***outcomes 1, 2, and 4*** focusing on capacity development, particularly in pro-poor growth and governance.

Note from asker:
Deborah, I think you're absolutely right...your references along with Liz' have convinced me. I wish I could split the points, but I'm going to give them to Liz as she was the first to come up with the answer. All I can offer you is a big thank you and a virtual hug:-)
