Chemonics’ global network of more than 4,400 specialists is driven by a stubborn insistence that tomorrow’s world must be better than today’s, which is why our work with youth is so central to who we are. With more than half of the world’s population under 30 years of age, it is critical that we empower young people as tomorrow’s leaders. We see youth as both beneficiaries and stakeholders, and we create economic opportunities for young people to drive meaningful change around the world. So our work takes us to Jordan, where we work with private sector partners to jumpstart careers in hospitality. We are in Uganda where we promote inclusive, cost-effective agriculture opportunities for young people, especially girls, driven by market demand. And we are in Indonesia, raising the standards of higher education. Because we believe that all young people — without exception — have the right to lead productive, engaged, and healthy lives.

Experiential Learning for the 21st Century Workforce: Reflections from the Global Youth Economic Opportunities Summit

Interning with the Economic Growth and Trade Practice at Chemonics for the past four months has dramatically enhanced my understanding of international development, a sector in which I had little prior experience. By integrating with a team of hardworking and mission-oriented individuals, I have refined both the soft interpersonal skills and hard technical skills necessary…

News: Chemonics Gears Up for Major Conferences

As the development community continues working towards the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we look to the global economy to advance our efforts.

More than ABCs: Enabling Environments for Youth Start with Primary School
