This license is necessary for working as a multi-crew pilot in Ethiopia.

• In order to be considered for the MCPL, you'll need to have significant time logged actually in the air. 250 hours total time is the minimum required for flying training and 750 hours for theoretical knowledge training. That's quite a bit of flying time; you must be a pilot in command, so training time counts here. Obviously, holding a JAA PPL will put you closer to the requirement, though you will have to log additional hours regardless of the license that you hold.
• You'll need to have at least 250 hours logged in the air as the Pilot in Command. That doesn't mean that you have to be the only one in the cockpit, but that you were the commanding pilot during the flight.
• You are required to have acquired the private, commercial pilot certificate and Air transport pilot license (helicopter) first because MPL is a significant development in training professional pilots. An MPL holder is authorized to be the co-pilot of an aircraft they have a type rating for in an IFR operation. However, the pilot must be working for an operator that is approved as a training-and-checking organization.
  

You are also required to

• Hold a CPL or MPL with the same category rating
  • Have at least 1500 hours experience for the aero plane category rating, or 1000 hours for the helicopter category rating
  • Have completed an approved course of training in multi-crew cooperation (MCC).
  • The theory exams must be completed within a two-year period to remain valid.
• One of the most significant changes in the new regulations is the introduction of an ATPL flight test. The flight test will be in a multi-engine turbine aircraft or an approved flight simulator.
• You will also have to have passed a wide range of ATPL examinations - there are 14 in total. You have to have a passing score in each of these areas or you will not be considered as an eligible candidate. Thankfully, you can re-sit examinations if you do not pass, though this will add time to your training.
• While the flight test for the ATPL (A) must be conducted as an IFR multi-crew operation with a co-pilot, the test for the ATPL (H) must be done in a helicopter that is certificated at least for Night VFR operations with a co-pilot, or in an approved flight simulator. The helicopter test can be done as an IFR or VFR operation.
• You will have to obtain a qualifying cross-country flight of 300nm in order to earn your Multi crew Pilot certificate/license as well.
  

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate
