Chemonics

Founded in 1975, Chemonics is a leading global sustainable development firm. We are nearly 6,000 experts in more than a hundred countries including 47 on the African continent, and 90% of us are working in a community we’ve long called home. Our teams reflect a diversity of technical expertise and lived experience, because solving complex development challenges in multiple sectors requires both. Our investment experts are working to mobilize capital to expand energy supplies and access to electricity in Asia and Africa, and our policy and power system experts are supporting the transition to renewable energy. And as a company, we are committed to connections – global and local, human and technological – that allow learnings to efficiently flow and adapt between experts, projects, and countries. This is how we match the speed and scale of humanity’s most pressing challenges, applying effective education practices from Chile to improve children’s literacy in Tajikistan, or renewable energy lessons from Iraq to support local governments in Lebanon. Chemonics is currently working to increase access to clean and affordable energy in Sri Lanka, Serbia, and 13 countries in Southern Africa where we are partnering with regional, national, and local stakeholders to simultaneously increase the sustainability and resilience of the sector.
