North Gate University

North Gate University is a public university being constructed on the outskirts of Kigali in Rwanda. Its creation was approved by a legislative act in Rwandan parliament in 2011. It is being constructed to handle 10,000 students from across the East Africa region, and its capacity expected to increase to 50,000 in 15 years. Construction of the university is being funded partly by the oversubscribed Euro bond sale in Rwanda, donations from the East African community at large, the Africa Development Bank, the United Nations Development Programme, and USAID. The university's curriculum is being developed in collaboration with the University of Nairobi, University of Dar es Salaam, and Makerere University.
