We help communities around the world apply innovative, sustainable solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.
Who We Are
Based in London, Chemonics UK works with the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, the Home Office, the Dutch Development Bank, and more. Together, we help our clients, partners, and the communities we work with to identify and apply innovative, sustainable solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.
We launched Chemonics UK in 2019 and have since established a strong and diverse portfolio of UK International Development-funded programmes, delivering a total of 25 projects across 26 countries. Chemonics UK runs projects that range from supporting children with special educational needs in Syria to increasing access to public services in Mozambique and fostering peacebuilding initiatives in Yemen. Every action we take is driven by the goal to transform life-changing ideas into world-changing ones.
Our Approach
Innovative ideas are born every day in communities around the world. But these ideas depend on connections to grow. That is where Chemonics comes in. We are a global enterprise that helps effective development solutions reach more people in more places. We offer a network of thousands of locally based experts ready to carry innovations from one country to another, adapting these innovations to the context-specific challenges.
Our teams reflect a diversity of technical expertise and lived experience, because solving complex development challenges requires both. 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 and ever-evolving challenges, from bolstering research and innovative systems across Africa to supporting local governments and civil society in Ukraine.
