The number of Parties completing Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) has more than tripled since the publication in April 2006 of the first synthesis report on technology needs identified by non-Annex I Parties.

This significant increase in the number of TNAs provided a platform for a more detailed and comprehensive review of technology needs identified at the regional level.

The second synthesis report, published in May 2009, contained some regional overviews of technology needs, focusing on regional differences as well as opportunities in Africa , Asia and Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States.

At the country level, Parties' needs were assessed based on their economic situation. Since these vary considerably, two more analyses were undertaken in Least Developed Countries and the Small Island Developing States.
