50 years ago, Chemonics International began as a small business – with two employees – dedicated to promoting meaningful change around the world by helping people live healthier, more productive, and more independent lives.


Today, we employ approximately 6,000 people across the globe and have worked in more than 150 countries to help clients and communities overcome challenges in a broad range of development areas, from political instability or limited healthcare to poor market infrastructure. To help us achieve sustainable development impact, we partner with small businesses that specialize in niche areas, including public opinion research, sustainable tourism, microfinance, online content management, human rights institutional strengthening, early warning analysis, and more.

We know what it takes to grow a business, and we are committed to helping our small business partners grow as well. Your company will work hand in hand with our staff on all facets of international development, from proposal development through project implementation.

Join us!

Our goal is a lasting partnership that extends beyond the life of a single project, building on the flexibility, innovation, and technical expertise that small businesses offer. If that goal aligns with yours, please fill out our U.S. small business partner form, or contact our U.K. team.
