Chemonics maintains 20 national and three regional field offices (Ouagadougou, Nairobi, and Pretoria) in sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, Haiti, and Afghanistan. A core team of full-time professionals in the Washington, DC office provides support to the field staff in livelihoods analysis, food security and vulnerability analysis, markets and trade analysis, early warning, contingency and response planning, agricultural economics, decision support, computer systems, communications, web site design and management, and project management.
