Eligible WTO members now have until 8 May 2026 to submit grant proposals under the WTO Fish Fund's second Call for Proposal, following an extension of the original deadline.

The government of Australia has committed an additional AUD 2 million (approximately CHF 1.2 million) to the WTO Fisheries Funding Mechanism, known as the Fish Fund, to assist developing and least-developed members in implementing the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies. This contribution builds on Australia's earlier contribution of AUD 2 million in May 2023.

During its meeting on 18 and 19 November 2025, the WTO Fish Fund Steering Committee approved 26 project grant requests to support developing and least developed country Members in implementing the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies.
