Starting in 2007 ChemSec - together with IPEN and SSNC - runs a programme for support to and collaboration with non-governmental organizations in developing countries. The program has gradually grown to currently give grants to 13 NGOs that combat use and misuse of toxic chemicals.

The programme's main geographical focus is Africa, where support is provided to activities and projects that reduce toxic chemical use while promoting safer chemicals management. The focus is towards industrial chemicals use (those outside of agrochemicals) and hazardous ingredients in products.

The program is financially supported by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) through the Swedish Chemicals Agency (KemI).
