Chemonics collaborates with the private sector to enhance competitiveness in local and global markets, drive revenue growth, and stimulate job creation, benefiting entities such as banks, small businesses, service providers, and microfinance institutions, which work together to fill critical gaps in public sector healthcare. By supporting and growing the private health sector, Chemonics is transferring ownership of health solutions to the local businesses, innovators, and entrepreneurs that will drive healthcare quality and efficiency in their own countries. Through our flagship Frontier Health Markets Engage program, we leverage a network of local, regional, and specialized organizations to deliver technical assistance and support to private sector entities. Emphasizing capacity building, our partnering approach empowers local and regional organizations to sustain healthy markets long-term. We employ a “twinning” model for peer-to-peer learning, fostering knowledge exchange and best practice implementation. With a goal of reducing dependence on foreign aid and increasing self-reliance, leveraging the private sector’s knowledge and resources is crucial on the pathway for countries to achieve their own goals. Chemonics’ health portfolio embraces private sector engagement through tailored capacity building, brokering partnerships, creating an enabling environment, and ensuring sustainable financing, guided by principles such as early engagement, incentivization, and building on successful approaches.
