The acquisitions strengthen Chemonics Australia's ability to support governments, development partners, and institutions across Australia and the Indo-Pacific with practical delivery capability from strategy and design through implementation. CANBERRA, Australia, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chemonics has completed its acquisitions of 35 South Advisors and JID, strengthening its capabilities across public and social sector delivery, international development, infrastructure, and implementation support throughout Australia and the Indo-Pacific. Together, these acquisitions strengthen Chemonics Australia's ability to help clients tackle complex challenges by combining talented professionals with deep analytical and implementation expertise, advanced technology, and data-driven decision-making tools. As part of Chemonics, which has been delivering programs for over 50 years, Chemonics Australia launched in 2025 to better support governments, institutions, and development partners across Australia and the Indo-Pacific. The acquisitions of 35 South and JID strengthen that effort by adding complementary expertise in public sector delivery, infrastructure, and program implementation, expanding Chemonics Australia's capabilities to support partners from planning and design through to delivery. 35 South strengthens Chemonics Australia's ability to support Commonwealth, State, and Territory agencies. With practical expertise in public policy, program and service delivery, economics, and data insights, the firm has built a reputation for exceptional client service, agility, and practical problem solving. Its experience spans finance, health, social services, central agencies, international development, defence, and other sectors. Its fit-for-purpose consulting, government delivery experience, and tailored client engagement will help agencies turn complex reforms into practical action and measurable results. JID strengthens Chemonics Australia's on-the-ground delivery capability. With teams already delivering key programs across the Indo-Pacific region, JID brings proven expertise in social and economic infrastructure, service delivery, disaster response and resilience, and complex program execution. JID has supported Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and other regional partners across Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Fiji, and Vanuatu. This includes work leading and managing major infrastructure investments across the Pacific. JID's end-to-end model combines advisory services, program management, and operational delivery, enabling partners to implement complex programs and strengthen resilience in remote, disaster-affected, and resource-constrained settings. Chemonics Australia was established to bring Chemonics' global experience and delivery capability closer to partners across Australia and the Indo-Pacific. Building on that foundation, the acquisitions deepen Chemonics Australia's expertise, while drawing on Chemonics' more than 50 years of experience delivering programs in over 160 countries. Together, they expand Chemonics Australia's ability to support partners including Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Department of Defence, New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Asian Development Bank, and other government and development institutions across the region. "I'm very excited to welcome 35 South and JID to the Chemonics family," said Jamey Butcher, Chair and CEO of Chemonics. "I've been incredibly impressed by the work both organisations have done and by the people behind it. Bringing these teams together with Chemonics Australia strengthens what we can offer partners across Australia and the Indo-Pacific and brings expertise and experience that will make our organisation stronger around the world." "35 South was created to help governments and not-for-profits design better policies, deliver citizen-centred services, and operate more effectively," said Scott Alexander, CEO of 35 South. "This next chapter gives our team access to broader capability, expertise and knowledge that Government demands while preserving the close client delivery, relationships, agility, and practical approaches that will help our clients achieve lasting, positive outcomes for Australian communities." "JID was established to help partners deliver complex development programs that work in practice," said Brad Bowman, CEO of JID. "Our strength comes from teams embedded across the region and their ability to manage infrastructure and services in demanding environments. This partnership will give those teams stronger systems and resources to support larger programs, while keeping local knowledge at the centre of delivery." Looking ahead, the acquisitions create opportunities to strengthen public sector delivery, infrastructure implementation, and development programming across Australia and the Indo-Pacific. The combined Chemonics Australia organisation will continue to work in partnership with governments, regional institutions, development partners, and communities to support complex reform efforts, manage large investments effectively, and deliver programs that respond to local priorities and contribute to long-term outcomes.
