Project Description:
Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC), a global project funded by the U.S. Presidentโs Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the U.S. Department of State (DoS), that provides strategic technical assistance and direct service delivery to achieve HIV epidemic control among all at-risk populations; strengthen global health security (GHS), including outbreak response; expand tuberculosis detection and treatment (TB), improve maternal and child health (MCH), address malaria; and promote health systems strengthening (HSS) including supply chain management. The STRengthening Infectious disease DEtection Systems (STRIDES) Activity advances cross-sectoral efforts to successfully identify, manage, and respond to infectious disease threats; detect and prevent further outbreaks; and instill confidence in the operability of a countryโs disease surveillance and detection structures and services.
In Haiti, EpiC will work to deliver critical lifesaving activities to contain the spread of new HIV infections and sustain lifesaving support to PLHIV, including prevention services/PrEP for pregnant and breastfeeding women, the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV, HIV case identification, HIV care and treatment, TB/HIV, the management of advanced HIV disease, and health information management. All activities will be closely coordinated with the National AIDS Control Program (PNLS), the National Public Health Laboratory (LNSP) and the department level health directorates. STRIDES will focus on foundational, feasible, and contextually appropriate actions that can strengthen Haitiโs ability to detect and respond to zoonotic and EIDs. The activities will build on existing national and departmental systems including Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR), Ministry of Public Works, Transportation, and Communication (MTPTC).
