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 health supply chain response. EpiC’s Health Supply Chain program portfolio will consist of (a) Logistic HIV coordination meeting; (b) Stock opname analysis at pharmacy warehouse facilities; (c) HIV sites monitoring, mentoring and analysis; (d) Order processing, replenishment, receiving and distribution of HIV commodities; (e) Viral load laboratory network optimization monitoring; and (f) HIV commodities forecasting and supply planning.
