The EGTT shall propose a two-year rolling programme of work, for endorsement by the twenty-eighth session of the subsidiary bodies following consideration by a joint contact group of the subsidiary bodies, to facilitate the development, deployment, diffusion and transfer of technologies under the Convention. The setting of this programme of work should:

(i)

For the medium term perspective (2008-2012), take into account the set of actions for enhancing the implementation of the technology transfer framework complemented by annex I to this decision; this work in the context of the Convention could benefit from becoming more focused on practical actions, in particular with special attention given to the African region, small island developing States and least developed countries. It should also:     a.   accelerate the implementation of development and transfer of technologies through practical actions that fully consider sectoral and regional aspects and differences in national circumstances;     b.   consider a better integration of national strategies for sustainable development and poverty reduction, based on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals;

(ii)

For the long-term perspective beyond 2012: develop the terms of reference for elaborating a strategy paper, including sectoral approaches, that could draw on the work undertaken by Parties in processes under the Convention and outside the Convention as well as the results of work undertaken by other international organizations and forums. The strategy paper should be considered by the subsidiary bodies at their thirtieth sessions.
