History
KAB was established as a private institution in 2001 by stakeholders in the Kigezi sub-region.[7] The major objective of KAB is to contribute to the socioeconomic development of Kigezi, Uganda, East Africa, Eastern Africa, and Africa through accessible training, research, and decentralized service delivery, using participatory and inclusive approaches and methodologies.[8] KAB received accreditation from the Uganda National Council for Higher Education in 2005.[9]
In January 2015, after lobbying from stakeholders,[8] the government of Uganda indicated its willingness to take over the private university, provided certain conditions were met.[10] In June 2015, the government formally took over the university.[11]
