Country work
The Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention works in low and middle-income countries where pesticide poisoning is a recognized and significant health problem. Our work aims to identify lethal pesticides responsible for deaths and end their use through regulatory action, working closely with national pesticide regulators, public health and civil society.
In addition to projects developed and led by CPSP staff, we also provide financial support for projects delivered by key partner organisations.

Trialling new treatments for poisoned patients
CPSP is supporting a large scale clinical trial, exploring new treatments for patients with organophosphorus (OP) or carbonate poisoning.
Assessing surveillance systems
CPSP is partnering with the University of Cape Town to assess current pesticide surveillance methods used across Africa.
Regional and international work
In addition to our project work within individual countries, CPSP also supports regional and international action on highly toxic pesticides. We work closely with relevant UN agencies, particularly the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
