Project Description
\nMeeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC), a global project funded by the U.S. President\u2019s 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.
\nThe 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.

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.
