10. C. SITUATION ANALYSIS
Accommodation: The Centre is currently being housed at the former Faculty of Management Sciences Building. But it is good to note that the Centre now has a befitting building commensurate with the multi-purpose nature of its mandates. The Centre is particularly grateful to the University for making this possible through the TETFUND supported building projects;
Classroom: The Centre teaches the Student in its Conference room and two other rooms (Offices) at its present office block (former Faculty of Management Sciences Building). However, some Lecturers teaches their students at their Faculties;
Accreditation: The two major academic programs (GDS and SOW) are yet to be accredited by NUC. The first set of students (2013/2014 session) are yet to graduate
Examination: CGDS already conducted First Semester examination for the 2013/2014 sets of postgraduate students. 
Result Processing: Results of the First Semester examination for the 2013/2014 academic Session is under processing.

Internet facilities to enable the Centre cope with national and international demands and mandates
Funding supports for the Centre’s research activities 
Academic Programs: Float postgraduate programs in Gender and Development Studies and Social Work through the Directorate of Distance Learning;

Mainstreaming Gender into University Management, Bursary, Registry, Heath Centre, Security and other non-academic units.
Research: Promote inter-disciplinary research on Gender issues, Social work and Policies;
