CIEL proposes expanding the Special Programme's funding eligibility to include civil society organizations and recommends that the draft resolution acknowledge ongoing discussions on innovative financing for chemicals and waste management, such as industry-funded contributions or taxes on basic chemicals.

• CIEL recommends adding a preambular paragraph to the draft resolution to acknowledge ongoing discussions regarding financial considerations for the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) beyond 2020, including proposals for a new structure to implement an integrated approach to financing.
• CIEL highlights specific financing proposals discussed by the Virtual Working Group (VWG), including a recommendation from the African Group (representing 54 members) that the chemical industry contribute 0.5% of annual revenue to fund SAICM National Implementation Plans, and a proposal from IPEN for a globally coordinated 0.5% tax or fee on the production value of basic or feedstock chemicals.
• CIEL proposes an amendment to the Terms of Reference for the Special Programme to allow civil society organizations to be eligible for project funding, provided the projects are endorsed by the hosting countries. This is intended to address the current limitation where eligibility is restricted to developing countries.
• CIEL justifies the inclusion of civil society in funding eligibility by citing the Dubai Declaration on International Chemical Management and an independent evaluation of SAICM (2006–2015), which found that civil society has provided evidence of damaging chemical impacts and supported vulnerable populations.
