Fisheries Funding Mechanism Trust Fund 2025

The $50,000 WTO Fisheries Funding Mechanism Trust Fund (the Fish Fund) is a voluntary funding mechanism established to assist developing and least-developed country (LDC) WTO Members.

.

The Fish Fund supports these Members with the implementation of the Agreement, and acts as a catalyst for enhancing the sustainability of oceans and marine life.

.

Funding Categories
  • Category 1 projects provide funding of up to US$ 50,000 to support studies and initial assessments for WTO Members working to implement the disciplines outlined in the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies.
  • Category 2 projects provide funding for more complex, programmatic interventions. These projects may be integrated into larger programs supported by other development organizations contributing to the implementation of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies or developed as standalone projects.
  • A prior assessment of national needs for implementing the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies disciplines, addressing any gaps, must have been completed. Funding for Category 2 projects may reach a maximum of US$ 300,000.
Eligibility:
  • To be eligible, developing and least-developed country (LDC) Members must formally accept the Protocol of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies by depositing their instrument of acceptance.
