Bibliomines | Francophone Online Library for Mine and ERW Action

The Bibliomines online library is primarily conceived for French-speaking communities affected by mines and ERW and national actors of mine action. It collects and makes available existing documentation in French on mine and ERW action.

Four organisations work in partnership to implement this project:

  • the Humanitarian Demining Training Centre (CPADD) of Benin
  • the Senegalese National Mine Action Centre (CNAMS)
  • the National Programme for Humanitarian Demining for Development (PNDHD) of Mauritania
  • the GICHD

Bibliomines is supported financially by the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), Switzerland and France.

The documents listed, collated and collected on the Bibliomines website are of various natures and origins:

  • documents from mine-affected countries
  • documents from international institutions
  • conventions and texts of international law
  • documents developed for national implementation (legislations, strategies, national standards, procedures, programmes, etc.)
  • studies, surveys, publications etc.

As well as facilitating access to mine action-related documents in French, Bibliomines promotes the production and dissemination of new documents and creates opportunities for cross-sectoral exchanges of expertise. The access to information sheets concerning organisations working in mine and ERW action contributes to this goal.

"EVENEMENTIEL" is a special feature showing all types of events on mine action which have just happened and which are scheduled in the Francophone world (meetings, trainings, AOB).

The page "EMPLOIS" aims to offer an additional tool to organisations which are interested in placing their job adverstisements, as well as a useful space for research by Francophone experts.

More than 3000 documents in French
