Overview
The University of Nzérékoré, established in 2017, is a public higher education institution serving Guinea’s forested southeastern region. Located in the city of Nzérékoré, it was created as part of Guinea’s decentralization of higher education to provide accessible academic opportunities in this historically underserved area. The university focuses on programs relevant to regional development needs, particularly in agriculture, forestry, and health sciences.
With approximately 2,000 students, the university plays a vital role in training professionals for southeastern Guinea’s key economic sectors. The institution maintains partnerships with local agricultural cooperatives and health centers to provide students with practical, community-based learning experiences.
