The handbook aims to improve awareness and understanding of the ETF and its MPGs by national experts and practitioners from developing country Parties, so that they may consider opportunities to improve current reporting and start planning for the establishment of institutional arrangements and reporting under the ETF. In this regard, the technical handbook among others, provides and explains in detail the information to be reported; describes the technical expert review (TER) and the Facilitative Multilateral Consideration Progress (FMCP) processes. The handbook and addendum are merged in one document.
