Arba Minch University is a non-denominational university which offers undergraduate and graduate programs.
Before its inauguration as a University, it was known as Arba Minch
Water Technology Institute (AWTI) offering a qualified course in water
resources planning, design and development. AWTI was established in 1986
with the objective of creating a skilled and qualified manpower vital
for the effective utilization and exploitation of water resources for
various aspects of national development. The Alumni has found wide
acceptance within the country and abroad. Due to the recurrent problems
of food insecurity and increase in magnitude and complexity of the
poverty situation, there has been a long felt need of creating qualified
manpower in the area of irrigation and hydraulics/hydropower, watershed
management and hydrology so that the available water resources can be
developed, managed and utilized without undue dependence on foreign assistance.
Arba Minch University was officially inaugurated in June 2004.
During this time, it comprised four faculties, one institute and one
school. It is expected that with the ongoing expansion a number of
faculties and programs will be opened and the enrollment capacity will
increase to over 10,000 by 2010.
