GRASS GIS
GRASS GIS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) software suite utilized for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics and map production, spatial modeling, and visualization. It supports raster, vector, and geospatial processing, enabling advanced modeling, data management, imagery processing, and time series analysis with a Python API, optimized for large-scale analysis. GRASS GIS is compatible with multiple operating systems, including OS X, Windows, and Linux, and can be accessed through a graphical user interface or integrated with other software such as QGIS. The software includes over 350 modules for rendering maps and images, manipulating raster and vector data, processing multispectral image data, and creating, managing, and storing spatial data. GRASS GIS is widely used in academic and commercial settings, as well as by governmental agencies.

Iaso
Geographic data is an essential piece of data for health and social programs. For example, immunization programs, NTD eradication programs or bednet distribution need villages, population and location information. Facilities and the services they offer, roads, transportation hubs, electricity and water supply sources, and political boundaries are all important datas to plan and implement health programs. Information systems store this geographical information in various formats. Village names and identifiers differ from one data-base to another. Health facility location and names vary from one data system to another. Territories are divided in administrative and health regions managed separately by different authorities, leading to inconsistencies. Reference geospatial information tends to evolve over time in their respective systems, leading to growing discrepancies. Iaso is a geospatial data management platform to support the continuous management of geographical data.
