University of Uélé

Founded in 1998, the University of Uélé is a public institution of higher education located in the city of Isiro, in the Haut-Uele province. Officially recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education and University of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it officially opened its doors on October 29, 2001. It is managed by the Dominican Fathers.

History
Created through the initiative of the residents of the Uélé basin in collaboration with the Order of Preachers (Dominican Fathers), the University of Uélé became legal on April 1, 1998 and obtained its provisional approval by ministerial decree No. EDN/CAB.MIN/ESU/0066/98 on April 11, 1998.

Although authorized to operate, the start of the university's activities was delayed due to the war that broke out in the east of the country on August 2, 1998, eventually beginning on October 29, 2001 in Isiro.

Administration
UNIUELE is managed by a Management Committee composed of four members: the Rector, the Academic Secretary General, the Administrative Secretary General, and the Budget Administrator; namely Roger Nganzi Gaise, Raphaël-Marie Masoki, Henri Mbalabu, and Donatien-Aimé Tshidibi.
