March 2009: At a special meeting held in Bonn, Germany, from 24-26 February, the Expert Group on Technology Transfer (EGTT) discussed and finalized three advanced reports on: performance indicators for technology development and transfer; identification and analysis of existing and new financing resources and relevant vehicles for the development and transfer of technologies; and long-term strategy to support the development and transfer of technologies.

These reports follow on from interim reports that were presented at the 14th session of the Conference of the Parties in December 2008 and will be made available as input to the fifth session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action Under the Convention, which is scheduled to take place from 29 March-8 April 2009, in Bonn, Germany.
