ART Acceleration Program Coordinator [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 accelerating the ability of governments, key population leaders, organizations working with key populations, and private-sector providers to plan and implement services that reduce HIV transmission among key populations and their sexual partners and extend the lives of those already living with HIV. The key elements of the FHI 360-led team’s strategic and technical approach are:

• Identifying key populations and locales and comprehensively assessing risk,
• Diagnosing “leaks” and revealing access barriers within the HIV services cascade,
• Scaling up “what works” while innovating to ensure the most strategic use of resources and access to newly emerging technologies,
• Addressing structural barriers and transforming local KP organizations,
• Ensuring interventions are sustainable over the long term, and
• Supporting the mainstreaming of human rights, gender and competency and capacity development.
• Assisting Indonesia’s health supply chain response regarding: (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.
