French term or phrase:panneaux (boite a image)
From a report on organic cotton growing in Mali and a section on child working practices: the section is discussion ways to heighten awareness of this problem such as:
"Une série de panneaux (boîte à image) a été produite et est prête pour l’impression et la diffusion"
I'm probably being very dim, but I don't understand how panneaux and boîte à image go together! If anyone can enlighten me, I'll be very grateful....
Explanation: I presume that "panneaux" are posters. It sounds as though image files for the posters are available in electronic form. In programmes for desktop publishing you can stock your image files in the "boîte à image", image bank or similar term.

Or maybe they are referring to a website with an image bank from which the poster files can be selected and downloaded?

The \"boîte à image\" could be a type of display board.
Indeed, that seems to be what it is, have a look here:

PICTURE BOX
80 PICTURE cards illustrate the every day life of a single farmer and the problems he is confronted with: production, transportation, exports, the market, farmer organisations, devaluation and the influence of the global market. The cards are used for training illiterate African farmers.
Made by Optimum Rural (Cameroon), in cooperation with RONGAED and the financial support of the European Commission (DGVIII Training action and cultural cooperation), the picture box is designed as an educational tool. It is also a practical guide and connects pictured images with local African realities.
This box allows farmer organisations, rural companies and rural entrepreneurs and their promoters to gain a better understanding of the rules and interests that influence the trading of their products; it is also directed at African development agencies and officials.
This is a print campaign right? No computers? Therefore, they mean a strip of images..a sequence of printed images..the original meaning of boite a image is Not Computers.it was old film strips. here they mean a sequence of printed poster images

Grading comment
Thanks Sue - your last suggestion is obviously exactly what this is!
Explanation: One of the companies I work for uses something like "boite à images" to describe a "toolbox" of camera-ready electronic pictures to be used in their online or print communications. This is made available on an intranet page and their communications teams can easily access them.
I don't think there is a set term to describe this, which is why I've suggested several. However, I am very confident about the meaning, especially in your context.

I\'ve just seen that both people before me suggested image bank and image toolbox - I agree with them. Just consider my input as a comment, please.
