Definition
成效 (chéngxiào) is a formal noun meaning 'effectiveness, positive result' — it emphasizes the tangible benefit or success that comes from a policy, effort, or method. It overlaps with 效果 (xiàoguǒ 'effect, result') but is more positive and outcome-focused; 成果 (chéngguǒ) refers to concrete achievements or fruits of labor, while 成效 highlights the efficacy or impact of the effort itself.
