The London Amendment (1990) to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer provided for the creation of a Financial Mechanism to assist developing countries. The Mechanism includes a Multilateral Fund and other multilateral, regional and bilateral co-operation. The Fund meets the incremental costs of the Parties operating under Article 5 of the Protocol (developing countries) to implement the control measures of the Protocol and finances all clearing house functions i.e. country studies, technical assistance, information, training and costs of the Fund Secretariat.
