EUCLID, also called Euclid University, is an intergovernmental organisation constituted in 2008, by an international treaties now registered with the United Nations, under the references 49006 and 49007.

With the approval of His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya AJJ Jammeh, President of the Republic of The Gambia (as noted in the headquarters agreement signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs), this remarkable institution now has its offices in Brusubi Bijilo (Brusubi roundabout near AU highway), in the same modern building that is known for the LG showroom.
