Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention — General Support (2024)

[Global Public Health Policy] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of £9,871,536 ($12,529,708 at the time of conversion) to the Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention (CPSP) for general support. The CPSP aims to reduce deaths from deliberate ingestion of pesticides by identifying the most frequently used pesticides in suicide attempts and advocating for their deregistration. Our global public health policy team believes that banning pesticides with high case fatality rates is likely to lead to a reduction in overall fatalities. This follows our January 2021 support and falls within our focus area of global public health policy.
