Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • Overall, the program is well managed and has a clear focus on improving efficiency and effectiveness. For example, in 2003, the program began collecting data on the length of stay at absorption centers in order to improve efficiency.
  • The program has a strong performance measure framework and has made steady progress toward stated goals. For example, the program has reduced the average cost per migrant by 20 percent, from $8,041 in 2003 to $6,428 in 2004.
  • Despite changes in the demographic composition of migrants to Israel, the program continues to pursue ambitious performance targets.
