About
A National Preservation Mission
NOSSI is Cameroon's national digital repository, designed to centralise, archive and provide access to the country's academic and scientific productions. In the face of the dispersion and progressive loss of Cameroonian intellectual heritage, NOSSI offers a sustainable and open solution.
The platform is aimed at students, academic researchers, universities and the general public, in Cameroon and in the diaspora.
