Background

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.

The EpiC approaches includes:

• Attain and maintain HIV epidemic control among at-risk adult men, women, and priority populations.
• Attain and maintain HIV epidemic control among key populations.
• Improve program management, health information systems, HRH and HIV financing solutions to attain and maintain epidemic control.
• Support the transition of direct funding and implementation to capable local partners to meet PEPFAR’s goal of providing 70 percent of its funding to local partners.

In the implementation plan for the 2024 fiscal year (FY24/COP23), EPIC Project Indonesia continues to maintain several applications that will be managed internally and provide support in maintaining external party applications that have a direct or indirect interconnection impact on the existence of the performance of applications developed by Epic, for example one of which is providing technical support to the DKI Jakarta Health Service in efforts to maintain applications relevant to the Epic program in Jakarta.

• Alpha is the first stage, the stage where the application is ready with complete features. At this stage, a lot of testing is carried out to check for bugs or loopholes in the application that still have a high risk of crashes or errors and harm the user, or also to allow for the reduction and addition of features if necessary. And usually at this stage the application will not be distributed to the public.
• Beta is a further stage than alpha, where at this stage it has been deemed suitable for use but is still in the testing category to eliminate bugs, the difference with alpha is that this beta version can already be distributed.
• Release Candidate (RC) is an application that is ready after undergoing testing in the beta version. In this version of the application, the application is actually ready to be distributed but is still classified as unstable with a few bugs.
• C is the final stage where the application can be used en masse by health services and other user entities. The Stable release itself has 2 general categories, namely LTS and non-LTS. LTS is long term support, where the application will be supported with additional features for a long period of time.                                                                                                                                                                       b) Synchronize data with the UPDATE-STATUS application in a system capable of being integrated and functioning normally in the JAK-SEHAT application.
