Our projects achieve impact in fragile and crisis environments by adapting traditional development programs to meet the unique needs of these dynamic and sensitive contexts. Understanding that working in high-risk or post-crisis environments requires programs and resources that are flexible and responsive to specific country circumstances, we rely on rapid-response mechanisms; multisectoral interventions; and community-based, participatory approaches to aid in rebuilding. Working across sectors such as health, agriculture, natural resource management, microfinance, gender, and democracy and governance, Chemonics aims to build strong systems and reduce fragility.
- Post-Conflict Recovery and Reconstruction: Working in post-conflict environments requires a multifaceted approach to rebuild infrastructure and mitigate the legacy of eroded governmental and social institutions. Chemonics employs solutions that support the rebuilding of physical infrastructure, help governments provide essential services, reintegrate refugees and internally displaced persons, demobilize and reintegrate combatants, and pave the way for the strengthening of essential democratic institutions.
- Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation: Some disasters, such as famine, refuse to respect national boundaries and require a great deal of oversight and coordination among governments, donors, and implementers to avoid regional or global emergencies. Chemonics ensures early warnings of hazards, food insecurity, and vulnerability to food insecurity across the globe. Chemonics also helps increase the quantity and quality of information used to monitor food security and vulnerability and assists governments in developing national and regional monitoring and assessment capabilities.
- Alternative Livelihoods: The growth of illicit crops helps propagate the cycles of poverty and violence in some of the world’s poorest and most unstable places. Chemonics works with public and private sector officials to develop and increase the awareness of sustainable alternative income opportunities in the licit economy.
- Natural Disaster Recovery: Natural disasters destroy infrastructure and threaten the weak social fabric of the world’s poorest countries. Ensuring a quick recovery is essential to maintain the momentum of sustainable development and ensure societal stability. Chemonics supports disaster preparation and aids recovery by helping governments mitigate the societal and physical effects of a disaster.
