Effective vs Efficient

Could anyone please outline the difference in meaning between these two, deceptively identical words? It would be welcome to see a few examples of usage, laying emphasis on the meaning difference of these adjectives.

I still lack a clear understanding of this pair of words.

Effective vs. Efficient

Thanks in advance.
