There is also the danger of analysis that does not properly include equity goals. For example, the traditional cost–benefit methods used for assessing flood protection projects tend to prioritize wealthier sectors because their assets are more valuable and thus they could face greater economic losses from flood damage. Thus to properly consider equity, an integrated vision that takes into account all kinds of impacts and benefits (not only financial ones) within the decision-making process, and use of assessment instruments that explicitly incorporate equity and poverty-reduction goals, such as multi-criteria models, are necessary.
