IMMAP.
Origins
The iMMAP team was formed in late 1998 to lead the first internationally-coordinated effort to combine information management, sociology and Geographic Information System technology to define the scourge of landmines and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and measure their impact on communities.
In 2001 the United Nations asked iMMAP to take what it had learned and developed in addressing the ERW threat, and apply this hard-earned intellectual capital in coordinating humanitarian activities in Afghanistan. Since that time, iMMAP has deployed at the request of the United Nations and international donors to most major crises on the global scene.
iMMAP remains the premier humanitarian information management organization, guiding international crisis responders who work to alleviate the suffering of those in dire need.
iMMAP is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.

ITHACA
ITHACA – Information Technology for Humanitarian Assistance, Cooperation and Action – is a non-profit association, founded in November 2006 by the Politecnico of Torino and the Higher Institute on Innovation Territorial Systems (Si.T.I.). It is located in the Politecnico of Torino campus.
Through its partnership with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) – the world’s largest operational humanitarian agency – ITHACA is envisioned as a centre of applied research developing IT products and services in support of humanitarian activities. ITHACA is dedicated to scientific research, delivering methodologies, analytical services and technical tools which improve the capacity of WFP and the wider International community in humanitarian early warning, early impact assessment and other related areas. The initiative was realized thanks to the support of the Politecnico di Torino, specifically with DITAG – the Land, Environment and Geo-Engineering Department – and other partners such as public and private research centers, societies operating in the aerospace and telecommunications fields and other companies supplying territorial data.
