CIEL suggests incorporating ongoing discussions on financial structures for the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) and expanding the Special Programme's funding eligibility to include civil society organizations.

• CIEL recommends that the draft resolution acknowledge current discussions on financial considerations under SAICM beyond 2020, including proposals for a new structure to implement an integrated approach to financing.
• The document highlights a significant funding gap for persistent organic pollutants (POPs), citing a report from the Stockholm Convention COP10 that estimates the financial need at nearly 5 billion USD.
• Two specific funding proposals are mentioned: one from the African Group suggesting the chemical industry contribute 0.5% of annual revenue to fund SAICM National Implementation Plans, and another from IPEN proposing a globally coordinated 0.5% tax or fee on the production value of basic or feedstock chemicals.
• CIEL proposes amending the Special Programme's Terms of Reference to allow civil society organizations to be eligible for project funding, provided the projects are endorsed by the host countries, noting that eligibility is currently limited to developing countries.
