History and Legal Status
EUCLID’s origins seem to be linked to the vision of Central African Republic Prime Minister Faustin-Archange Touadera, when he was the rector of the University of Bangui, to create an international extension for the university. The programs developed by the Euclid Consortium (‘Pôle d’Extension Universitaire Euclide’), of which the University of Bangui was a member, led to the establishment of EUCLID as an autonomous institution in 2008.
In January 2008, Syed Zahid Ali, the senior official of IOSD, the administrative organization for the Euclid Consortium, presented to various governments a new legal framework called EUCLID Phase 2. Several governments interested in using the Euclid programs to train their own staff approved the statutes of the new international university in 2008 and 2009.
