WTO report highlights strong level of technical assistance despite resource constraints

The 2025 Annual Report on Technical Assistance published by the WTO Secretariat on 27 May highlights that despite budgetary constraints, over 13,000 government officials from developing and least-developed WTO members and observers benefited from capacity-building activities in 2025. The report finds that 80 per cent of performance targets were fully or partially met, representing an increase from the ten-year 73 per cent average. Technical assistance activities were made available to 140 WTO members and observers, with Africa and Asia-Pacific remaining the two regions with the highest participation rates.
