French term or phrase: sensible dans sa signification
Le Produit ci-dessus analysé de l’effet 2.1 a contribué à améliorer la qualité de vie des femmes enceintes, des adolescents des jeunes et des autres populations vulnérables en favorisant leur accès aux services de prévention. En somme le produit est "sensible dans sa signification" et est d’une performance variant de modérée à plus excellente comme le montre le tableau ci-dessous.

"produit" here is output.
An suggestion would be appreciated. I'm going to end up translating it literally "sensitive in its meaning" but what on earth does that mean?

sensitive implications


Explanation:
I think "dans sa signification" is describing the effects, the implications, the consequences.

Fairly strange French with "modéré à plus excellente" for the performance.

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Yes. This makes more sense than my suggestion. How about "is highly significant"?

  -> Thanks Nikki. If its significance is "sensible", then it is perceptible, rather than large. "Appreciable" achieves the same sort of understatement.

critical because of its significance


Explanation:
Amazingly the best feature of this product is not its own efficiency, but the fact it attracts people to the help/care centres where they can be looked after.

So 'sensible dans la signification' here means critical, noticeable because of its significance/impact (bringing people to the care centers)

"le produit "a contribué à améliorer la qualité de vie des femmes enceintes, des adolescents des jeunes et des autres populations" parce qu'il a favorisé l'accès des femmes et des enfants aux services de prevention"

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: This solution works too. After all, it comes down to emphasising significance in some way.
2 hrs
  -> Thanks Nikki. The point is to make it clear that the product is best for attracting people to Care Centers. That's what "signification" is all about...
