Chemonics’ private sector development practice excels at strengthening value chains, facilitating market linkages, improving the business enabling environment, and building public-private partnerships. We have developed an economic corridors approach that works at a transactional level to overcome bottlenecks in an individual firm’s ability to increase sales and meet market demand. Around the world, Chemonics and our partners have offered innovative solutions to improve association strengthening, land markets, and trade and investment. Our record in private sector development boasts exceptional results in sales, jobs, investment, and financing, thereby promoting meaningful and lasting change in the lives of beneficiaries.
- Business Enabling Environment: By reducing barriers to competition, strengthening the legal framework surrounding dispute resolution, and promoting transparent business practices, we create business environments that spur economic growth. We specialize in strengthening institutions, so the developing countries where we work can further improve their policies, laws, and regulations.
- Competitiveness: We assist targeted industries, sectors, and clusters in developing business strategies and alliances that enable groups of firms to improve their international competitiveness. We support national and sectoral competitiveness councils and industry associations, among others, in advocating for public-private solutions that lead to business reform, paving the way for cluster development and better integration of entire industry value chains.
- Enterprise Development: We have expertise in supporting micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises by increasing the sustainability of high-quality business development services and providing technical assistance to enhance productivity. Through workforce development initiatives, we have helped tailor the skills and training of the workforce to meet the demands of the private sector.
- Trade and Investment: Throughout the world, we are helping developing countries to participate effectively in regional and international trade institutions and implement regional and international trade agreements. We also help developing countries take full advantage of trade and investment to generate economic growth and reduce poverty.
