The fisheries sector has been a significant recipient of assistance from the Bank, which has become an important source of multilateral financing for fisheries development in a number of its developing member countries (DMCs).

As of the end of 1996, the Bank had approved loans totaling $1,125.78 million for 52 fisheries projects in 18 DMCs, and 105 technical assistance (TA) grants amounting to about $33.19 million.

Fisheries components have also been included in many integrated area development projects. These investments have targeted enhanced economic growth of the DMCs through increasing production, productivity, and exports, thereby generating and increasing employment and income, particularly for small-scale fishers.
