variables: main-variable X3 ‘data sources’ (0.36 = non-satisfactory performance);
main-variable X6 ‘policy institutional vision’ (0.36 = non-satisfactory performance);
main-variable X9 ‘policy benefits’ (0.22 = poor performance) (see Table 4). According
to our results three main variables have ‘acceptable performance’. These variables are
type of policy (X5 = 0.50), applicability of this policy (X7 = 0.58), policy geographical
coverage (X8 = 0.67). Additionally, only one main-variable has good performance,
this variable is the policy orientation (X4 = 0.75). Finally, only two main-variables
are receiving the top marking of ‘excellent performance’. These two variables are
‘policy vision’ (X1 = 1) and ‘policy approach’ (X2 = 1). All results of the above nine
main-variables in this can be seen on the PIE-Surface (see Figure 1). Here the PIE-
Surface shows the weaknesses within a specific case of the effectiveness of policy
implementation through a multi-dimensional graphical representation. The first
recommendation in this paper is to include non-economic variables in its modeling to
improve the main-variable (X5). Secondly, this paper should identify the adaptability
to the real making decisions level, benefit/cost, evaluation of financial and human
resources, and possible implementation of this policy that is relevant to improve the
main-variable (X7) in the model. Finally, the recommendation is for main-variable
(X9) by proposing more integral projection policies to solve problems in different social
groups in different levels (see Table 4 and Figure 1).
