UGB LASPAD is a Pan-African Research Center that focuses on conducting research and providing critical insights into various issues. One of their key programs is FACE, which aims to address the social, economic, and political impact of COVID-19 in Africa through a feminist intersectional lens. As part of this program, UGB LASPAD collaborates with the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) to analyze and respond to the current national and transnational measures in place to combat COVID-19.

They provide valuable research on the pandemic, feminist policy influence, and public engagement to meet the specific gender-related needs. UGB LASPAD also prioritizes vulnerable groups in their response to COVID-19 and highlights the shortcomings in healthcare and support systems for these groups. They actively engage students in the fight against COVID-19, promoting active citizenship and community involvement.

Additionally, UGB LASPAD addresses the impact of the pandemic on children's rights and advocates for continuity in education beyond the constraints of COVID-19. This research center also emphasizes the protection of human rights amidst crisis response and suggests improvements in public communication during times of health crises
