The Kigali Institute of Science and Technology (KIST),
formerly known as Kigali Institute of Science,
Technology and Management, was the first public technological institute of
higher learning in Rwanda.
It came into existence as a UNDP project
on November 1st, 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 post-genocide 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.
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 2640 in 2009,
enrolled in both regular and part-time 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.
3.2 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:
Ø To equip
students with advanced skills with a view to increasing manpower and capacity
for national development.
Ø To promote
research, based on the disciplines offered at KIST.
Ø To
disseminate the results of research through teaching, seminars, conferences,
public lectures, publications and other appropriate means.
Ø To provide
consultancy services to the Government, industry, private sector and the
community at large.
Ø To engage in
income-generating activities with a view to creating awareness of lucrative
investment.
Ø To
collaborate with other academic, professional, technical and research
institutions in and outside of Rwanda
for educational and technological development.
Ø To develop
and promote close collaboration with the private sector and the community so as
to enrich KIST’s programmes.
Ø To make
provision for the advancement, transmission and preservation of knowledge and
to sustain intellectual life in Rwanda.
Ø To
contribute to the cultural, civic and moral training of its students and to
participate actively in the economic and socio-cultural development of the
country.
There is the ambitious aim to develop KIST in to an
outstanding reputed institution for our positioning them on top-most positions
in African higher education by 2020.
“To be an internationally
renowned, regionally- engaged African
University delivering programmes of academic learning to the highest
international standards, engaged in world class fundamental, strategic and applied
research and providing services to the community and business whilst remaining
true to our commitment to be responsive to the needs of Rwanda”.
By adopting this positioning, KIST would take a
leading role in meeting the needs of Rwanda and the Great Lakes Region
for a highly skilled science and technology workforce, developing new ways of
partnering with key groups and institutions in the region. KIST would also
become recognised as a world-class specialist science and technology university
explicitly working to contribute to the achievement of the strategic priorities
of the Government of Rwanda.
Ø Enabling all
our students to achieve their full potential (including life skills for the
labour market, entrepreneurial skills, an understanding of community
development and Life Long Learning)
Ø Providing
undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in applied sciences and technology,
including research degrees benchmarked to the highest international standards
Ø Providing
high quality strategic and applied research to contribute to the economic
development of Rwanda
Ø Being
responsive in meeting the needs of employers and other key stakeholders in Rwanda
for Knowledge Transfer, including Continuing Professional Development and
consultancy
Ø Developing
and transferring appropriate technologies to support the economic and social
development of Rwanda
Ø Providing
equality of opportunity and promoting social justice
Ø Increasing
the percentage of non-Government income
Ø Capacity Building of all Staff
While striving to achieve the set strategic goals, KIST embraces a
number of core corporate values to which its staff and students are expected to
subscribe. In embracing these values, education, research and intellectual
pursuit with quality and service to the community are at the centre. The core
values are:
Ø High levels of achievement by all its staff
and students
Ø Quality in all its works
Ø Service to the people of Rwanda in particular and the Region
in general
Ø Openness and integrity in all its
operations
Ø Professionalism, accountability and
communication
Ø Reliability, diligence and respect for
others
Ø
KIST is ranked as the 97th University in
Africa and the 10th in East Africa.
Ø
KIST is the only specialist Science and Technology University
in Rwanda
Currently, KIST’s activities are multi-faceted; the
Institute combines teaching, training, consultancy, service to the community
and research. Apart from the core academic programmes, KIST has made significant
impact on the community and the region at large through the establishment of
the Centre for Innovations and Technology Transfer (CITT), Technology and
Business Incubation Facility (TBIF) and ICT Training Centre.
In 2001 KIST won Ashden
award for its successful development and promotion of an improved bread-making
oven, which uses firewood more efficiently than traditional ovens. Four years
later, KIST won another top prize in the Ashden Awards for sustainable energy. More recently, KIST won a grant of USD 50,000 from the World Bank which
will be used to strengthen TBIF activities through satellite incubation. In
terms of research and scholarships, KIST staffs have won a number of research
grants in collaboration with international institutions.
KIST has also been extensively involved in providing service
to the Rwandan community. Significant achievements have been realised through
links with ‘Engineers without Borders’ of Germany. Three suspension bridges
have been constructed, one in the year 2002 across Nyabarongo River
connecting the former Gitarama and Kibuye provinces. The other one which
connects Kibuye and Gikongoro across Ndirurima
River was done in 2005.
The third one was completed in 2008 in Vunga.
These community bridge building projects actively involve students and
staff of the Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Technology,
while local communities mainly contribute labour to the process.
Because of its vision of enhancing science and
technology in Rwanda,
KIST has made its mark not only locally but also internationally. This is testified through various
partnerships and support it has with universities and organisations in Rwanda,
in the region and beyond. Some of these
links and partnerships include University of Kaiserslautern in Germany,
International Telecommunication Union (ITU), UK, University of
Missouri-Columbia, USA, University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, just to
mention a few.
Other linkages and partnerships that have been
established or are in the process of establishment include:
Ø RITA for Monitoring and Evaluation in ICT
programmes
Ø Tama Art University of Japan for
introducing Banana textile technology in Rwanda.
Ø Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT), a National Climate Observatory initiative with leadership from KIST
Ø Technical University
of Munich for
the establishment a new Faculty of Architecture and Environmental and Design
Ø Central University
of Technology (CUT) of South Africa
for research collaboration
Ø British Council support of KTP in Rwanda
under negotiation

4.1 Overview of
KIST Management Structure
KIST operates on three tiers of management structure
in its administration that fall into the two basic divisions: academics and
administration. At the top of this
structure is the university executive or senior management. The senior
management comprises of the Rector who is the Chief Executive Officer
responsible for all Academic activities, Finance, Administration and Management
of the Institution. He is assisted by the Vice-Rector in-charge of Academic
Affairs (VRA) and the Vice-Rector in-charge of Administration and Finance
(VRAF).
In the Academic Division, the senior management is
supported by Deans and Academic Directors.
At the bottom of the hierarchy within the Academic division are the
Heads of Departments. These all report
to the Vice Rector Academic Affairs as their ultimate line manager who reports
to the Chief Executive Officer (Rector).
Students Earmarked for
Government Sponsorship
Students qualifying for
admission to all Rwandan Institutions of Higher Learning on government
sponsorship are selected and their details are published by the Rwanda National
Examinations Council (RNEC), immediately after the Senior Six examination
results are released. Students attending
secondary schools in Rwanda
are given opportunity to select, in order of preference, an institution where
they wish to continue their higher education. The RNEC makes the allocation of
students to Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) based on the candidate’s
preference and performance in the Senior Six examinations, as well as the
minimum performance declared by the respective institutes for admission to
their programs.
Students who have
completed their secondary school education outside Rwanda and who wish to join KIST
must first submit their certificates to RNEC, in order to have them vetted to
ensure that they are of a standard consistent with the KIST admission
requirements. Successful candidates will thereafter, be given a letter
directing them to come and study at KIST.
