For more than 36 years, Chemonics International, a U.S.-based international development consulting firm, has partnered with local and international organizations to promote social and economic change in Africa and around the world.

Our work began in West Africa in 1976 in Cameroon, where we improved rice production and in 1977 in Mali where we revived a drought-depleted livestock sector.

Since then, we have expanded our expertise to address a diverse range of challenges in education reform, conflict mitigation and management, decentralization, rule of law, anticorruption, private sector development, trade, agriculture, health, and nutrition.

Our experience extends across the African continent and in West Africa includes Ghana, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal.
