People & Culture Associate

Project Description

Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC), a global project funded by the U.S. President’s 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 EpiC Cameroon buy-in will support the continuation and expansion of life-saving HIV prevention, treatment, care, and support services in Cameroon, building upon the foundational work of previous PEPFAR-funded initiatives. The focus will be on strengthening community-led platforms and integrating them with facility-based systems to increase access to quality HIV-related services, particularly for populations at higher risk of HIV, long distant truck drivers (LDTD), Children and Adolescents Living with HIV (C/ALHIV), HIV-exposed infants (HEIs), and their caregivers. The program will contribute to closing gaps mainly towards HIV case finding (the first 95) while maintaining the gains of the second and third 95 of the UNAIDS target. Collaboration with the Government of Cameroon (including the Ministry of Public Health and the National AIDS Control Committee), PEPFAR clinical partners, the Global Fund, and local community organizations will be essential to ensure the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based case finding, family-centered where necessary and population-specific interventions.
