OUR PROGRAM
iMMAP Inc. is in Iraq since 2003. It currently relies on a national team of approximately 70, spread across 13 governorates and 3 offices: Erbil, Baghdad and Basra. Since the beginning of its operations in Iraq, iMMAP Inc. has built a solid acceptance from local authorities and population. Thanks to this trust, iMMAP Inc. has been able to implement its activities throughout the country, in both the Iraqi Kurdistan and Federal Iraq areas.
Following decades of conflict and humanitarian crisis, Iraq is becoming more secure and stable and is establishing new policies and programs to benefit the people. iMMAP Inc. supports its international partners and, most importantly, the Government of Iraq, in accessing and managing the information they need to make effective evidence-based decisions. iMMAP Inc. is currently implementing projects in key sectors on the country’s path to peace and stability: humanitarian mine action, private sector development, health, and disaster preparedness. These projects are implemented thanks to the partnerships with the U.S. Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) and UNICEF.

CURRENT PROJECTS
Geographic Information System Support for Public Health Services
Iraqi public services, notably in the health sector, have been impeded by more than 30 years of humanitarian crises, massive population displacement, migration, unemployment, and poverty. The crisis has had a negative impact on immunization efforts, as public health services have not adjusted to the changing population.
IMMAP Inc. is dedicated to ensuring that all Iraqis, including those living vulnerable areas, have access to immunization services. To achieve this, iMMAP Inc., in partnership with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), provides Geographic Information System (GIS) expertise in support of the Iraqi Ministry of Health. With this expertise, the Ministry will be able to digitize its Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) to better support the Iraqi population and currently untargeted groups in accessing immunization services.

Humanitarian Mine Action: Third Party Monitoring
Years of conflict have left Iraq with one of the highest levels of explosive ordnance (EO) contamination level, which severely hinders the socio-economic development and stabilization of the country.
The Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) program in Iraq has received assistance from the US Department of State’s Office for Weapons Removal and Abatement (WRA). iMMAP Inc., as WRA Third Party Monitoring partner, monitors and verifies USA-funded Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) activities in the country. By collecting and analyzing field data at regularly scheduled intervals, iMMAP Inc. provides WRA with a realistic picture of the program's progress, compliance with standard operating procedures and immediate outcomes of activities.
