efficiency, effectiveness effektivitet (grad), effektivitet (träda i kraft) Explanation: To a certain extent these two words are synonyms in English as well, so it's not easy to find two clean-cut terms in Swedish that don't overlap each other. Although in English the first term often refers to the degree of efficiency, whereas the second points at to what extend something is into effect, you're right that "effektivitet" is used indistinctively for both efficiency and effectiveness in Swedish.
