Athena Infonomics

This year has been a celebration of the people who make us who we are—diverse, dynamic, and deeply committed to creating impact. Every voice adds a unique note to our journey, and it’s this harmony that drives us forward. Here’s to the team that makes Athena, Athena! #TeamAthena #LifeAtAthena #GrowWithAthena #WorkAtAthena #LookingBackAt2024 #CountdownTo2025

Behind every powerful policy lies a simple question: Are we asking the right questions to drive change? We revisit the experiences of three Athena colleagues as they reflect on their work at the intersection of gender, social inclusion, and data measurement. Their insights remind us that data isn’t just a tool—it’s a catalyst for equity.

Trafficking in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Pakistan is a deeply rooted issue, yet critical gaps in data and survivor perspectives limit our ability to drive change. That’s where Athena Infonomics steps in! Supporting the US Department of State’s TIP Office to combat trafficking, we’re: ▪︎ Mapping trafficking routes to uncover hidden patterns. ▪︎ Amplifying survivor voices to inform actionable solutions. ▪︎ Delivering evidence-based insights for stronger interventions. This isn’t just another study—it’s a call to action, fueled by data and compassion, to shape policies that protect the most vulnerable.

Recently, Athena Infonomics completed a field visit to Nepal as part of our ongoing work with the Rising for Rights (R4R) program, where we have been providing knowledge and technical support to our partners. Our team conducted a pilot deployment of our results framework monitoring tool in Hetauda, Nepal. We spoke with multiple stakeholders in Hetauda to understand the implementation of the R4R program. This tool, developed by Athena, will help the implementation partner Freshwater Action Network South Asia (FANSA) to track their advocacy efforts across different stakeholders in the #sanitation service delivery chain. During the annual Pause and Reflect meeting (December 4-6) with FANSA country chapters, we: ✔️ Presented findings from our pilot tool deployment ✔️ Shared our study on CBO engagement in sanitation service delivery ✔️ Introduced EQUISERVE, our service delivery assessment tool, which received significant interest from country partners Stay tuned for more updates!

Every child deserves a life free from harm, yet justice often comes too slowly. Through the Access to Justice (A2J) program, we’re working to change that— strengthening systems, amplifying local solutions, and using data to drive real, lasting impact. The way forward lies in collaboration, accountability, and community-driven solutions. Together with partners, we’re building a future where no child is forced into marriage, trafficked, or silenced by abuse.

We asked Neha about her journey to Athena, and her words made us smile: "Every step was structured and clearly communicated, making it easy to understand what would happen next.

The CWIS Technical Assistance project across 11 cities has shown how collaboration, equity, and innovation can tackle Ethiopia’s #urbansanitation challenges.
