CCAMLR has recently announced the availability of a new fund to assist Members and Contracting Parties. The new fund was created following the successful Capacity Building Workshop in South Africa in April 2019 in order to encourage an increase in co-operation and contribution to the work of the Commission especially by those Members or Contracting Parties that are least effective in the implementation of their obligations to the work of the Commission.

The new fund will enable Members to apply for financial assistance with specific projects, or activities, or to fund travel to meetings. It will also allow for applications from Contracting Parties that are not Members, and non-Contracting Parties that are cooperating with the Catch Document Scheme, provided that they have the support of a Member. 

For more information, including eligibility and how to apply, please visit the GCBF page.
