This research focused on empowerment of widows in Cameroon by a non-governmental organization. This research is important as gaps in community services were explored by identifying the organization's ability to address the unique issues of widows in Cameroon. The gap practice theory was used to analyze the existing strategies used by the organization and identify significant gaps in their programs and services that may hinder their efforts to assist widows in Bamenda, Cameroon. Semi-structured interviews with agency staff (n = 16 in Bamenda, Cameroon, including 3 board members and 1 executive) and clients (n = 14) were conducted to investigate the current strategies and possible gaps in their services to empower widowers. Findings indicated various problems faced by widows in Cameroon and a range of organizational issues that may help alleviate their unique issues. Findings indicated that there were limited options for educational and occupational advancement, obstacles in establishing property claims and inheritance, societal marginalization, and the burden of economic reliance on others. The implementation of gender-sensitive policies is crucial in promoting the economic empowerment, social inclusion, and general well-being of widows. By addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by widows, these policies provide a supportive environment that allows them to thrive. The research has also offered evidence-based policy recommendations for administrators and other policymakers to address the economic issues widows face in Cameroon. Potential positive social change includes initiatives for general administrative practice, program offerings, and support services.
