It came into existence as a UNDP project on November 1 st , 1997, with a clear mandate to produce technical and scientific expertise of high calibre. Its establishment was made possible by the combined efforts of the Government of Rwanda as the main stakeholder, UNDP (Rwanda) as the executor of the project, and the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) as the implementing agency. The initial funding for starting the Institute came from UNDP core funding and a UNDP Trust Fund, obtained from generous contributions by the Governments of Japan and the Netherlands. This financial boost enabled KIST to initiate operations smoothly, taking only two months for the first class of 209 students to begin their studies. The establishment of KIST was part of the Rwandan Government’s mission to build a strong postgenocide human resource base that was so desperately needed then, and is still needed now. The Government’s commitment was demonstrated in the handing over of a military academy infrastructure in the city of Kigali as the start-up capital for the Institution. KIST opened with major degree programmes being offered in engineering and technology and an additional programme in management. The Institute was officially inaugurated in May 1998 and was legally enacted by Law No. 48/2001 of 26/12/2001, four years after its inception. In January 2009, the Faculty of Architecture was established. KIST is the first university in Rwanda to offer degree programmes in Architecture. Since its foundation, KIST has continued to receive considerable support both from the Government of Rwanda and its external development partners. While the Government of Rwanda remains as the biggest source of funding for KIST, especially with respect to the recurrent expenditure, the development partners have been very supportive in funding development expenses. Despite many challenges, KIST boasts a highly motivated student population, which has grown from 209 in 1997 to 3003 in 2010 enrolled in both regular and parttime undergraduate programmes in a variety of fields of Science and Engineering. Additionally, KIST now offers Masters Programmes, in partnership with some international institutions. There is also a highly qualified and diversified staff, more classroom space and a growing laboratory infrastructure. KIST continues to strengthen its programs and enjoys a growing number of international partners. KIST Mission KIST’s mandate, as laid down in its Statute, is comprehensive and wide in scope. It encompasses the following areas that form the basis for its very existence: � To equip students with advanced skills with a view to increasing manpower and capacity for national development. � To promote research, based on the disciplines offered at KIST. � To disseminate the results of research through teaching, seminars, conferences, public lectures, publications and other appropriate means.
