Multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a tool commonly used for decision making
process, including to rank options or to short-list a limited number of options. This tool
allows combining some criteria which are valued in monetary terms and others for which
market values are not readily available in the economy. It allows the use of a full range of
social, environmental, technical, economic, and financial criteria. MCDA is thus an appropriate
tool to prioritize NAMAs in the context of national sustainable development, taking
into account climate and development priorities.
