Founded in 1975 and 100% employee-owned, Chemonics International is one of the world's leading partners in international development. We've worked in more than 160 countries, partnering with governments, donors, and the private sector to design and implement programs that help people live healthier, more productive, and more independent lives. Our ISO 9001-certified management systems let us document, measure, and apply innovations and proven practices across regions and sectors — so results don't just happen once, they happen at scale.

We are a team of roughly 5,000 development professionals, 90% of whom work in the communities they call home. Our people bring together deep technical expertise and local knowledge across every region of the world. As employee-owners, we are personally invested in every project we take on — because where Chemonics works, development works.

We combine broad geographical experience with technical depth and unparalleled project management expertise. Our portfolio spans agriculture and food security, conflict and crisis response, democracy and governance, economic growth and trade, education and youth, environment and natural resources, gender equality and social inclusion, health, supply chain solutions, technology and innovation, and water, energy, and sustainable cities. From last-mile supply chain delivery to fintech ecosystems and digital e-governance, we match the speed and scale of humanity's most pressing challenges.

Our mission is to promote meaningful change around the world — to help people live healthier, more productive, and more independent lives. We invest in what we know works: data, technology, and people. And we insist that tomorrow's work must always be better than today's.

Our five core values — caring, excellence, innovation, integrity, and respect — guide every action and decision we make. All five are rooted in a culture of diversity and inclusion, because we believe that the world's most complex challenges demand the full range of human perspective and experience.

Decades of experience in the world's most complex political and social environments give us an unmatched ability to quickly mobilize resources, adapt to change, and apply lessons learned across thousands of projects. Our ISO 9001-certified systems ensure best practices flow freely across regions. As employee-owners, our interests are fully aligned with our clients' — and with the communities we serve.

Sustainability is embedded across our work — from locally led climate adaptation programs in Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, and Malawi, to expanding renewable energy access in Sri Lanka and reducing fossil fuel dependence in Serbia. We take a holistic, locally led approach to climate adaptation and resilience, ensuring communities can lead their own climate strategies.

We believe those who have the least deserve our best. Our community impact spans agriculture, health, education, and economic empowerment programs in the world's most vulnerable regions — improving lives for millions of people at the base of the pyramid each year through locally led, sustainable interventions.

Chemonics is committed to engaging a diverse global workforce and creating an inclusive workplace where every employee can grow and bring their best selves. We have established 22 divisional DEI working groups across all business units, earned recognition as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality and Disability Inclusion, and published our first biennial DEI report — sharing milestones, challenges, and next steps in building a truly equitable organization.
