The Kofi Annan University of Guinea (abbreviated as UKAG) is a private university in West Africa located in Nongo, Ratoma Commune, Republic of Guinea. It is the oldest private higher education institution in Guinea.

Founded by Ousmane Kaba, it is named after the former Ghanaian diplomat Kofi Annan, who was the Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1997 to 2006.

The Kofi Annan University of Guinea, endowed with legal personality and financial autonomy, was created on May 28, 1999 (1999-05-28) (law no. 2814/MESR/CAB) with the missions to:^[1]

• Offer general and professional higher education and training;
• Promote scientific research;
• Promote new information and communication technologies.

The library is located on the third floor of the administrative building and contains over 50,000 titles in virtual and digital formats, as well as more than 40 computer workstations equipped with internet for staff and students.

The Kofi Annan University of Guinea also has a cultural space that hosts various forums, conferences, panels, and exhibitions.^[3][4]

On February 11, 2023, the Entrepreneurship House of Kofi Annan University of Guinea was inaugurated. The ceremony took place in the presence of Diaka Sidibé, Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation.^[5]

More than 6000 students are enrolled, and the number remains stable despite the government's ban on directing students to private universities in 2016.^[6][7]

The health situation faced by Guinea in 2014–2015 with the Ebola virus and in 2019-2020 led to increased use of the university's online platform.^[8]
