Spanish term or phrase: de efecto
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?

Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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.
