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 used by USAID to battle against infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, and pandemic influenza. This initiative aims to address the complex human resource challenges faced by national infectious disease programs in USAID-supported countries.

LEAP Global seeks to create self-reliant and efficiently managed national infectious disease programs in low- and middle-income USAID-supported countries. This will be achieved by deploying technical advisors and subject matter experts within the national programs. Embedding these experts has been a proven model that has consistently led to the development of national leadership, evidence-based policies, best practices, improved essential systems, effective program implementation, and enhanced coordination with stakeholders, ultimately resulting in self-reliance and sustainability.
