  1  SUMMARY  
1.1.  TA activities intensified during the third quarter of 2023, confirming the trend seen during the 
first half of the year. There was no material change in the situation of trust funds.  
1.2.  The financial position for the unearmarked part of the GTF remained stable, but less certain 
than in prior  years. At current levels of TA activity and inflation, existing  unearmarked cash reserves 
will be seriously depleted by the end of 2023. The WTO will need to raise further funds to implement 
the TA Plan 2024 -25 which was adopted at the 121st Regular Session of the CTD on 11 July. Since 
the Secretariat is not allowed t o commit GTF resources unless the cash is already in the bank, the 
new funds will need to be received well before the year end to avoid any suspension of TA activities 
financed through the unearmarked part of the GTF. This is particularly important for L -Posts, which 
are renewed annually, subject to the availability of funds and for the Young Professional Programme 
for which commitments equivalent to the full year expenses are registered upfront at the beginning 
of each calendar year.  
1.3.  Renewed commitments wi ll be important for the sustainability of the GTF. By the end of 
September, registered expenditures (CHF 8.8 million) exceeded the level of contributions received 
(CHF 1.8 million) by far. The projected balance at the end of 2023 (CHF 6.3 million) represen ts only 
half of the unearmarked funds targeted annually in the next biennium. As securing commitments 
from capitals to support the WTO's trade -related technical assistance activities can be a long process, 
we encourage Members to consider multi -year commit ments to support the anticipated 2024 -25 TA 
Plan as this helps to ensure predictability in funding. The annual average level of unearmarked 
voluntary contributions since 2020 would need to almost double in the near future to avoid having 
to trim down the WTO TA programme in 2024 -25. 
1.4.  The Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF)  operates as a global partnership, 
knowledge platform and funding mechanism to build SPS capacity and facilitate safe trade in 
developing countries. The STDF Working Group, convening experts from STDF's founding and other  
partners, met on 14 -15 June 2023 and approved three new project grants (PGs) and three new 
project preparation grants (PPGs), totalling more than US$2.9 million in STDF funding.  The next 
meeting of the Working Group will take place on 21 -22 November 2023.  Out of 77 applications 
received, 11 applications (4 PGs and 7 PPGs) will be considered for approval. The total funding 
requested from the STDF at this meeting is US$3,739,930.  
1.5.  The next deadline for submission of new applications is 1 March 2024, for consi deration by the 
Working Group in June 2024. In view of the high demand on the STDF and the limited resources 
available, Members are encouraged to consider new and ideally multi -annual contributions to the 
STDF trust fund.  
1.6.  The STDF partnership is evaluated every five years by an independent evaluator. The current 
programme evaluation started in September 2023 and will be completed in the first quarter of 2024. 
More information can be obtained from the STDF Secretariat.  
1.7.  The balance available at the end of September  in the Ministerial Conference Trust Fund for 
LDC's is insignificant compared to the resources required to facilitate LDC's attendance at MC13. In 
the absence of new contributions, the fund will not be able to meet its stated objectives.  
1.8.  Other trust funds are generally in a stable position, consistent with their programme objectives 
and fund balances allow ing for implementation of planned activities when circumstances permit.
