The Chemonics Consortium:
A Three-Pronged Approach

The Chemonics Consortium addresses the challenges of biodiversity, forest conservation, and climate change by bringing together specialists to generate and disseminate information about best practices; develop and empower local organizations; and help communities discover and benefit from alternative sources of income. Like the flora and fauna in an ecosystem, each approach depends on the others.

Best Practices. 

Spurred by significant changes in biology, the social sciences, and information management, Chemonics Consortium members have pioneered the development and practical application of many improved environmental management technologies.

Local Organizational Development. 

Chemonics Consortium members have achieved worldwide recognition for their work to improve environmental management and create a more transparent political environment by promoting policy change, decentralization, community participation, and expanded institutional capacities. Such work ensures broad access to natural resources and responsible use of resources. 

Alternative Income Generation. 

Chemonics Consortium members have an impressive record helping communities develop non-traditional products and income from the very resources that are threatened, all within the context of sustainable biodiversity and forest conservation.
