dc.description.alternativeAbstractThis study titled the impact of local women‘s Common Initiative Groups on the socioeconomic growth in Cameroon: Case of 3 selected CIGs in the North West Region Cameroon, aimed at examining the activities of local women‘s Common Initiative Groups with interest on the impact they have on the development of the community and the country at large. It was observed that these ladies indulge in a variety of activities some skilled other unskilled, which has played a great role in the development of their communities. Guided by the theoretical framework of Social and human development, this study employed a survey research method sampling the opinions of 30 women from three different WCIGs. In this light, two research questions to probe into the phenomenon were posed. The results indicated that Women‘s Common Initiative Groups in the North West Region of Cameroon have had great positive impact on the socioeconomic development of the region and by extension the country. Revealing that with reference to the standards of living, 33.3% of the women indicated they are somewhat influential at 50% in impacting the standards of living, while 66.7% others indicated that their impact on the standards of living is influential at 75%. The study also revealed that 93.3% of the women indicated Women‘s Common Innovative Groups are more influential in the socio-economic development of the region than other groupings. To conclude, this study ascertains that to guarantee effective socio economic impact of local women‘s common initiative groups in their communities, they should involve in group farming, ―njangi‖ (credit and thrive) to financially empower members, own and run commodity shops, run vocational training centers and handicraft centers. They should also involve in community development projects, charity activities and adult education (literacy centers).-
