Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) is a global health initiative project funded by the U.S. Department of State for the period of 2019–2027. EpiC is led by FHI 360 with core partners— Right to Care, Palladium International, and Population Services International — and draws upon regional and local partners and expertise. EpiC delivers high-quality technical support at the community, facility, district, regional and national levels, and builds relationships with relevant stakeholders similarly working to address health security issues.

The U.S. Department of State in Indonesia is supporting EpiC to implement a Global Health Security (GHS) project for the period of October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026. The EpiC GHS Indonesia project aims to reinforce the country’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to zoonotic disease threats with pandemic potential in targeted geographic locations by 1) strengthening disease surveillance systems; 2) accelerating laboratory confirmatory testing; 3) enhancing outbreak response capacity and health emergency management; and 4) ensuring evidence-based public health messaging and community engagement. This project is being led by a dedicated team based in Jakarta that will support and work closely with three Provincial Coordinators (advertised here) and district-level Field Officers. There will be one Provincial Coordinator and one to two Field Officers in each of the three targeted provinces (Banten, West Java, and East Java). EpiC GHS staff will work with national and sub-national health authorities, including but not limited to, Tim Koordinasi Daerah (TIKORDA) for One Health, key decision-makers and health offices, Puskesmas, laboratories, and EpiC GHS subaward partners.

EpiC GHS will also closely collaborate with FHI 360’s STRIDES (STRengthening Infectious disease DEtection Systems) GHS team, whose work will primarily focus on animal health activities and cross-sector coordination. The EpiC and STRIDES teams will align human and animal health GHS activities at the national level and in the targeted provinces. Lastly, both teams will work closely with Government of Indonesia (GoI) counterparts to develop a transition plan promoting continuation and replication of best practices to sustainably strengthen the country’s capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to zoonotic diseases with pandemic potential.
