Zemi Tek, 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, Zemi Tek 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 Zemi Tek, LLC and Dexis Consulting Group – is implementing the Long-term Exceptional Technical Assistance Project (LEAP Global). 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 is to hire and embed technical expert advisors and subject‑matter experts within government entities. By embedding the technical expertise within 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 Global Health Security (GHS) Health Information Systems Specialist will support the U.S. Embassy Jakarta ECON Health Unit in carrying out life‑saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order directives and advancing Global Health Security initiatives in Indonesia. The Specialist will provide technical advice to strengthen USG and the Ministry of Health (MOH) GHS initiatives, focusing on national and sub‑national health information systems to enable timely disease surveillance, data integration, and evidence‑based decision‑making for effective zoonotic prevention and response.

The Specialist will support the design, analysis, and improvement of data quality, visualisations, accessibility, and use for decision‑making related to zoonotic disease surveillance, outbreak response, and public health preparedness. The Specialist will bridge public health and data systems, requiring both technical expertise and the ability to collaborate with diverse stakeholders across health programs. The Specialist will be based at the Ministry of Health – Indonesia and will collaborate with the Senior Epidemiology Advisor, Epidemiology Officer, MOH technical staff, GHS implementers and other stakeholders.
