Abstract
We review Shuvaev's transformations, that relate off-forward parton distributions (OFPDs) to so-called effective forward parton distributions (EFPDs). The latter evolve like conventional forward partons. We express nonforward amplitudes, depending on OFPDs, directly in terms of EFPDs and construct a model for the EFPDs, which allows to consistently express them in terms of the conventional forward parton distributions and nucleon form factors. Our model is self-consistent for arbitrary x, xi, mu, and t.
