At Chemonics, we care about improving lives globally. So we work to design and implement inclusive projects, taking into account how gender-based differences may affect program impacts. And we draw from our experience with cultures in 150 countries around the world. Our projects integrate factors like age, geographic location, ethnic and religious identities, sexual identity, and socio-economic status, because we know that they profoundly influence the impact of a project. Our network of over 4,000 specialists is committed to upholding Chemonics’ global goals to advance gender equity and equality through our work around the world.

01 LGBTI-Inclusive Development


Our projects promote respect for the LGBTI community and enable an environment where everyone can live in safety and with dignity, participate in decision-making processes, and is treated equally regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We identify ways to mitigate challenges of engaging the LGBTI community in development interventions and focus on…

02 Disability-Inclusive development


Advancing disability inclusion requires a commitment to equality and ensuring that people with disabilities play an important role in contributing to the development of their countries. The disability perspective and the inclusion of persons with disabilities is key for effective and sustainable programming. We develop programs that take the unique needs of this population into…

03 Social Inclusion


We believe that for development projects to be truly successful, they must incorporate the needs of all community members — particularly those most vulnerable to exclusion from traditional societal opportunities and protections. We understand that women are not a homogenous group, and neither are men. We ensure that our projects meet the needs of everyone…

04 Women’s Empowerment


In some settings, deep-rooted cultural and historical practices have narrowly defined women’s opportunities and roles. To address these inequalities, we lead activities that provide women with skills, resources, and access to participate fully in society. For example, in Afghanistan, we are helping young women launch government careers through innovative internship programs.

05 Mainstreaming Gender into Development


Gender is a crosscutting variable that must be taken into account across sectors. We design program interventions, monitoring and evaluation tools, trainings, and communications that disseminate lessons learned and effective strategies to ensure that gender-based differences are considered in all types of development projects.

06 Gender Equality


We use gender analyses across sectors to examine the roles, rights, and responsibilities of men and women, as well as the obstacles, opportunities, and choices available in different contexts. Our programs are designed with the understanding that women and men may experience development issues differently: Women and men have different roles within their communities that…

07 Addressing Gender-Based Violence and Trafficking in Persons


We offer a variety of solutions to combat different forms of gender-based violence (GBV), which may include trafficking in persons, to ensure that the more vulnerable populations have equal access to preventative services. Our work supports prevention, protection, and prosecution efforts and runs the gamut from setting up referral mechanisms in Latin America to improving…

08 Innovation and Technology


We work with stakeholders to design innovative solutions and leverage technology that will address complex development challenges. Our approach involves co-generating ideas, transforming them into pilots or prototypes, and testing and scaling these solutions to ensure they are both functional and meaningful. We shape our use of technology based on the Principles for Digital Development:…

Proud and Loud Resilience Programming

Although international development programs often seek to extend aid efforts to the LGBTQ community as part of an inclusive development approach, these efforts can fail in places where there is a significant dichotomy between the program’s goals and the host country’s legislative and religious norms. LGBTQ efforts can be sidelined when aid efforts focus on…
