EIFL in Cambodia

EIFL supported the Cambodia Electronic information for Libraries Consortium (CAM-eIFL), which was led by the Royal University of Phnom Penh, from 2005 - 2020. Through the partnership with EIFL, libraries in Cambodia gained access to a wide range of scholarly e-resources.

We supported  the setting up of the Royal University of Phnom Penh repository to host research outputs, and advocacy and capacity building of librarians in copyright issues. We advocated for ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty for persons with print disabilities. As part of this work, we partnered with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Blind Union and the Association of the Blind in Cambodia to prepare an Issue Brief in English and in Khmer to raise awareness about the Marrakesh Treaty. 

In 2010 we supported an innovative project initiated by Lveate Centrestone Public Library. The library recorded interviews with older villagers about their experiences under the brutal dictatorship of Pol Pot. The interviews (film and audio) are used to supplement history teaching.
