We are currently seeking qualified candidates for the position of: Senior Technical Officer/COVID-19 based in Jakarta, Indonesia.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC), a five-year global project funded by PEPFAR and USAID, is dedicated to achieving and maintaining HIV epidemic control. The EpiC project provides strategic technical assistance (TA) and direct service delivery (DSD) to break through barriers to 95-95-95 and promote self-reliant management of national HIV programs by improving HIV case-finding, prevention, care and treatment programming, and viral load suppression. EpiC is led by FHI 360 with core partners Right to Care, Palladium, Population Services International (PSI), and Gobee Group. The project also draws upon regional resource partners to provide TA, as well as global resource partners who bring unique capacities.

The EpiC team’s approach to TA is guided by four mutually reinforcing principles: (1) a focus on speed, scale, standards, and sustainability; (2) customization according to local priorities, financing, epidemiology, and the differentiated needs of target populations; (3) adaptive management based on results; and (4) transition of TA and DSD to local and regional partners to enable them to receive direct awards. In addition, EpiC applies human-centered design thinking to resolve persistent challenges along the HIV service cascade.

EpIC is currently being used as a funding mechanism by which to direct financial, programmatic and technical resources to assist Indonesia’s COVID-19 response.  EpiC’s COVID-19 program portfolio currently consists of (a) Mechanical Ventilation for COVID-19 technical assistance; (b) COVID-19 vaccine technical assistance; and (c) support for personal protective equipment, COVID-19 testing and lab system strengthening.  Other COVID-19 emergency response programming – including oxygen ecosystem strengthening and home-based management of COVID-19 – may also be forthcoming.
