Abstract
The activities of the secretariat to facilitate the provision of financial and technical support to non-Annex I Parties for the preparation of national communications are mandated by stipulations in the Convention, decisions by the Conference of the Parties (COP) and requests by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI). (See Article 8.2(c), FCCC/CP/1996/15/Add.1,
decisions 3/CP.2 and 10/CP.2, and FCCC/SBI/1997/6, para. 21). Decision 10/CP.2, in particular, requests the secretariat, in accordance with Article 8.2(c), "to facilitate assistance to Parties, particularly developing country Parties, in the preparation of their initial communications, through the organization of workshops at the regional level; to provide a forum for the exchange of experiences in the development of emission factors and activity data for the preparation of the inventory, as well, on request, for other elements of information in the initial communications"; and to report to the SBI and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) at each of their sessions. The present progress report includes the activities undertaken by the secretariat since the eighth session of the subsidiary bodies. Part II, section A and the table attached as an annex provide updates on the state of preparation of initial national communications by Parties not
included in Annex I to the Convention. Part II, sections B to F summarize secretariat activities related to regional and inter-regional workshops and expert group meetings, CC:FORUM, information exchange, training, and other activities. Part III contains conclusions and presents a number of problems common to many non-Annex I Parties in preparing their initial national communications
