Résumé
Le Kigali Institute of Science, Technology and Management (KIST- Institut de science, technologie et de gestion de Kigali), première institution supérieure de technologie du Rwanda, a été la première à mener des activités entrepreunariales. En 2002, 35% du budget du KIST provenait de ses diverses activités entrepreunariales. En 2008, ce pourcentage devrait dépasser la barre des 50%. Dès le début, l’institut a combiné l’enseignement professionnel aux initiatives relatives au transfert de technologies. Les projets portant sur les énergies renouvelables, la gestion des eaux usées et la transformation de produits alimentaires ont connu un grand succès. Parmi les produits développés figuraient les pompes à eaux actionnées à la main ou par le pied, les systèmes de recueillement des eaux de pluie, un séchoir solaire ou fonctionnant avec l’énergie fournie par la biomasse (balles de riz, sciure ou bois à brûler), etc. Grâce aux rapports fournis par leurs agents de développement communautaire, dont la plupart sont des femmes, le KIST a pu modifier de simples machines en en facilitant l’usage pour les femmes ; l’institut a également formé des groupes de femmes des zones rurales à la gestion ; il dispense également à tous ses étudiants une formation de base en techniques de management. Le Centre de technologies de l’information et de la communication du KIST est devenu le sec- ond fournisseur de services Internet du pays ; il fournit également des logiciels et dispense parallèlement des cours d’informatique. L’institut dispose d’un programme de cours payant à temps partiel réservé aux professionnels adultes.
