WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies Matters to Sustainable Livelihoods in Africa The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS) entered into force on 15 September 2025. As of the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference held in Yaoundé, Cameroon, in March 2026, 26 African members of the WTO had accepted the Agreement, including eight landlocked countries. Given the importance of marine capture fisheries for Africa’s food security and economy, implementing the AFS can significantly support sustainable development outcomes across the continent. sdg.iisd.org/commentary/gue…
