Building upon the successful investments in key populations (KP) programming from the USAID-funded, FHI 360-led Linkages Across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations Affected by HIV (LINKAGES) project (2014 – 2020), EpiC is designed to break through remaining, persistent barriers to the 95-95-95 goals and promote self-reliant management of national HIV programs. In response to USAID Mission and country needs, EpiC will deliver efficient, affordable, results-based technical assistance and direct service delivery tailored to context and epidemiology that is effective in surging, scaling, and sustaining HIV services and systems for long-term epidemic control. EpiC Cambodia will focus on the following global EpiC objectives:
Objective 1: Attain and maintain HIV epidemic control among at-risk adult men, women, and priority populations;
Objective 2: Attain and maintain HIV epidemic control among key populations (KPs);
Objective 3: Improve program management (including HIS and HRH) and financial systems to ensure attainment and maintenance of epidemic control.
