The Mutual Learning Programme (MLP) for Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), supported by the Ministry of Environment of Japan and implemented by IGES,Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting in close collaboration with the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency – Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP), aims to support the countries in their understanding how to apply the reporting guidance under Article 6 and 13, explore improvement areas of the climate reporting under the UNFCCC as well as to strengthen a network of institutions and individuals working on Article 6 and 13.
In 2023-2024, two pairs Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan from the CBIT-GSP Central Asia & the Caucasus Transparency Network, Georgia and Moldova from the CBIT-GSP Eurasia Transparency Network in addition to Japan participate in the MLP.

In 2023, all participating countries learned how to fill in the required CTFs and pursue methodological assessment and description, to peer-review each other’s assignments and to exchange on improvements to get better prepared for the reporting under the first BTRs.
