The U.S. Agency for International Development obligated contract funding for fiscal 2015 reached $4.8 billion — a $1 billion increase from its total in 2014. This 26 percent budget surge marks the first upward movement in USAID’s contract spending in the last three years.  Despite USAID’s focus on channeling more foreign aid to local organizations — most notably through the USAID Forward initiative — the agency continues to award the bulk of its contracts to American firms. In 2015, the top 20 recipients of USAID funding were all U.S.-based organizations. Combined, these transactions account for 70 percent of the total USAID spending for obligated contracts for the year, up slightly from 67 percent in 2014. The consortium Partnerships for Supply Chain Management received the most USAID contract funding, while international development consulting firm Chemonics was second. In 2015, Chemonics secured an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity agreement, or IDIQ, with USAID to the tune of $9.5 billion — the largest USAID award to date which could lift the firm into the top place next year. Meanwhile, four organizations managed to break into the top 20 in fiscal 2015. Checchi and Co. more than doubled its contract funding with $44 million compared to just $19 million in 2014. The consulting firm Dexis, formerly a small business, received $48 million in 2015 versus $22 million for the previous year. Morganti, meanwhile, significantly increased its winnings from just over $4 million in 2014 to $56 million in 2015 and PAE entered the top 20 list receiving $75 million in USAID contract funding. USAID also channeled $101 million to an undisclosed domestic contractor. The complete list of USAID’s 3271 contractors for 2015 can be emailed to you upon receive of your request.

This integrated approach allows it to provide efficient, targeted support while also building the capacity of individuals around the world. PRACTICES Agriculture and Food Security Its agriculture and food security practice works with a variety of stakeholders to reduce risks, improve production practices, and facilitate trade. With a critical eye, it assess the value chain; focus on problems and bottlenecks; and develop targeted, market-based solutions to improve agriculture productivity and sales.

Understanding that working in high-risk or post-crisis environments requires programs and resources that are flexible and responsive to specific country circumstances, it relies on rapid-response mechanisms; multi-sectoral 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. Democracy and Governance The democracy and governance practice at Chemonics seeks to build the legal and policy frameworks, institutions, and citizen participation that breathe legitimacy and fairness into government. Its success in programming finds its roots in the promotion and application of international standards commonly understood to be the underpinnings of democracy and good governance. To accomplish this aim, Chemonics offers a range of services, from e-government to building civil society’s capacity to serve as a watchdog. Underlying all of Chemonics’ approaches to democracy and governance is the understanding that different situations require different solutions, but all of its solutions promote common goals. It always seeks to ensure that its efforts foster a host-nation environment that respects individual liberty, guarantees transparent government institutions, and gives average individuals a real voice in their futures regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, familial origin, political affiliation, personal opinion, or economic status.

Education and Youth Chemonics' education and youth practice focuses on improving people's lives by enhancing the quality of the education they receive and linking it practically to their futures. Using multi-sectoral approaches, it develops learning experiences that allow students to make informed decisions regarding schooling, employment, and community involvement. Through all of its educational activities, it seeks to support host-country efforts to increase the access to and quality of educational opportunities for children, youth, and young adults. Environment and Natural Resources Chemonics' environment and natural resources practice stresses the use of market-based incentives, enhanced management systems, and careful audit protocols to help enterprises reduce environmental and social impacts. It offers solutions in environmental services, natural resource management, and climate change by combining cross-cutting services such as trade facilitation, conformity assessment, governance, gender assessment, and finance. Its record in sustainable agribusinesses and forestry is complemented by its service offerings in water and coastal zone management and responsible tourism. Gender Because women and men often use different strategies to improve the economic and physical well-being of their families, businesses, and communities, Chemonics’ gender practice works to ensure that project activities are designed with an understanding of how and when gender-based differences may affect project impact. The practice provides tools and strategies that support its staff, clients, and partner institutions in analyzing gender-based differences that — unless recognized and mitigated — can negatively affect project outcomes. Above all, the practice strives to advance Chemonics’ efforts to improve gender equity and equality through its projects in the countries where it works. Health Its health practice applies experience and competencies from all other sectors to address global health challenges using integrated and multi-sectoral approaches.
