Chemonics International contracts with the U.S. Agency for International Development to support economic development projects around the globe in areas such as education, health care, and agriculture.
In 2016, Chemonics International agreed to pay nearly $500,000 to settle a U.S. Department of Labor finding that the company denied jobs to qualified African-Americans. The DOL found that of the 124 African-Americans who applied for entry-level jobs in 2011, none were hired.
