The CWIS TA Hub, hosted by Cabinet EDE International and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has selected Athena Infonomics, along with consortium partners Demewoz Consultancy and JaRco Consulting, to work with Ethiopia's national Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE) and 11 participating cities, providing technical assistance aimed at strengthening city systems in the delivery of safe, equitable, and sustainable sanitation services.

This work will be carried out through four key components: 1) a qualitative baseline assessment of CWIS functions and outcomes for the city of Hawassa and ten additional cities; 2) the development of a detailed CWIS plan for Hawassa; 3) technical support and facilitated learning for the 11 participating cities on key CWIS concepts, data frameworks, and planning processes, using Hawassa as an example; and 4) technical assistance to strengthen national-level oversight and support for city-led planning, driven by MoWE in coordination with other national institutions.
