What EpiC Project does

EpiC Project is a USAID- and PEPFAR-funded global health project implemented by FHI 360 in consortium with Right to Care, Palladium, and PSI. Founded in 2019 under a cooperative agreement that runs through 2027, it delivers HIV epidemic control programming across 42 countries, COVID-19 response across 54 countries, and Global Health Security activities across 23 countries, alongside maternal, newborn, and child health, nutrition, malaria, antimicrobial resistance, and medical oxygen programming.

The project's core technical stack centers on DHIS2-based health information systems, complemented by DDD mobile applications and digital oxygen tracking tools that support data flows across country operations. Programmatic outputs to date include over 20.4 million vaccine doses delivered, 45,192 staff trained, and measurable ART continuity improvements in country pilots (e.g., 90% versus 79% continuity in Cameroon).

EpiC does not operate as a commercial entity. Its revenue model is grant-based, with funding flowing primarily from the U.S. Department of State and PEPFAR, including a dedicated allocation exceeding $72 million for medical oxygen ecosystem strengthening. Customers are effectively donor agencies and host-country ministries of health, and there is no pricing model, sales motion, or productized revenue line — making EpiC best understood as a multi-country donor-funded implementation platform rather than a venture-backed business.
