ZemiTek, LLC is a Woman-Owned, SBA-certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) based in the Washington, DC metro area. We have a strong record delivering innovative and high-quality solutions. Since 2007, ZemiTek has provided technical assistance, project management, information technology (IT), knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation, training and learning development, and institutional support services.

Global Solutions Ventures (GSV) – a joint-venture partnership between ZemiTek, LLC and Dexis Consulting Group – is implementing the Long-term Exceptional Technical Assistance Project (LEAP Global), a mechanism originally used by USAID to battle against infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, and pandemic influenza. As of July 1, 2025, LEAP Global transitioned to the U.S. Department of State (DOS). This initiative aims to address the complex human resource challenges faced by national infectious disease programs in the USA-supported countries.

The intervention of this project is to hire and embed technical expert advisors and subject matter experts within government entities. By directly embedding the technical expertise within the national programs, LEAP provides long-term, sustainable lifesaving support to empower host governments to lead and manage key aspects of their infectious disease portfolios and improve coordination between the U.S. Government and the host country.

The MNCH Advisor will advance the United States Department of State (U.S. DoS)' lifesaving humanitarian assistance (LHA) Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs in Indonesia, in full alignment with the U.S. Presidential Executive Order directives. The Advisor will provide technical support to Indonesia's Ministry of Health (MoH) to strengthen service delivery and institutional capacity for improving maternal, neonatal, and child health outcomes, including polio eradication and measles elimination.

The Advisor will work closely with the U.S. Embassy Jakarta ECON Health Unit, MoH counterparts, and provincial and district health offices to ensure a coordinated, sustainable implementation and development and execution of a responsible, phased transition plan for the U.S. DoS-supported MCH activities to relevant Indonesian government entities. The Advisor will report to and receive technical guidance from the U.S. Embassy Jakarta ECON Health Unit points of contact and the MoH Directorate of Family Health and Directorate of Immunization.
