Internally displaced women account the most vulnerable portion of the society. They often, unlike men, find themselves with the burden of providing for their families whose men often have either died or injured, enrolled in militancy roles in the civil war or might have immigrated elsewhere. In this context of man power vacuum for the most part, the protection, conducive environment within which to explore their potential and finally empowering women with the tools to crawl their way out of poverty constitute a pillar of what this organization (IWA) is purposed to work to. For instance, this organization provides ID Women with micro and grant money, business consulting and entrepreneurship training as well as other strategies applicable to reducing poverty. Skill-building programs are also provided as part of the larger strategy to reduce poverty. And though the program focuses women more, its intended to affect households and communities since women are the largest block of ID people and their income tends to passively impact economic improvement much more and the ripple effects on their households and communities much more efficient.

Integrating immigrant women in the socio-economic fabric of their new host communities does reflect on the country’s socio-economic development, improves assimilation and circumvents security and political volatilises. In short, integration immigrant women with their all their important social roles do positively impact on the social and economic development. Therefore, devising strategies and approaches to integrating immigrant women into their new hosts must be an element of central importance in featuring the policies of governments and development agencies. In world marred by radical radicalised ideologies and ethnic and religious incongruities, security and communal cohesion is best served by the integration of immigrants who are often mothers and family household heads entrusted present an important framework to achieve a real assimilation.

Integrating immigrant woman features programs that offer women with leadership development opportunities and taking part in social service and community-based areas. Preparing them to be the designers of the community-based development programs will certainly ease the integration process and positively impact on the development aspect socially and economically and the approach will certainly be through educational and training programs.

Educating women and girls, is the most important empowerment tool on disposal for any Policy making body in the whole world. The world is saturated with stories of a successful ‘’educate women’’ programs whose outcomes translated into growth of economic and social benefits. Well-researched studies have regularly shown that educating women have the most efficient investment return by 2 digit percentage points and the margin is more in some countries than its in others. Certainly countries like Somalia constitute one of the countries where education of women and empowering them with other skill-building interventions has produced the highest return-on-investment among the world despite the limited opportunities in disposal. Development agents therefore, need to build on this idea that economic and social development rest upon women & girls education.
