Exploring Rich Kyambogo - Banda Hill A Fast Developing Neighborhood In Kampala Uganda

Kyambogo sits on Banda Hill, which rises to an altitude of 1,240 meters (4,070 ft), above sea level. The neighborhood is bordered by Kiwatule to the north, Banda to the east, Kinnawattaka to the southeast, Mbuya to the south, Nakawa to the southwest, Ntinda to the west, and northwest. The location of the neighborhood is approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 mi), by road, east of Kampala's central business district
In 1958, The Uganda Polytechnic Kyambogo (UPK) which had been established on Makerere Hill in 1928, was transferred to Kyambogo. Its role was to train Ugandan technicians and artisans. In 1948, the Institute of Teacher Education Kyambogo (ITEK) was established. Its first home was in Nyakasura, Kabarole District. It was subsequently moved to Mbarara and finally to Kyambogo as well. In 1988, the Uganda National Institute of Special Education (UNISE), originally a department at ITEK, was spun off as a separate institution. In 2003, the three institutions were merged to form Kyambogo University, the third public university to be established in Uganda.
