Integrated Services for Displaced Populations (ISDP) is a women-led non-profit humanitarian and development organization established in 2010 in Puntland State, Somalia. Founded by professionals from diverse backgrounds, ISDP has evolved into a dynamic organization guided by experienced leadership and a strong commitment to inclusivity. 

Led by a female Executive Director (ED), ISDP’s governance and operations reflect its dedication to gender equality and empowering women at all levels of decision-making. With 55% of its staff being women, ISDP ensures that its programs are informed by women’s perspectives, promote women’s empowerment, and prioritize inclusive, community-based solutions.

As a humanitarian organization, ISDP is dedicated to amplifying the voices of vulnerable populations particularly women, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and children. The organization ensures their meaningful participation in project planning, implementation, and decision-making processes. 

ISDP adheres to global humanitarian principles and standards, including the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS), the Sphere Standards, and Somalia’s national Humanitarian and Development Coordination Guidelines. Through these frameworks, ISDP upholds accountability to affected populations, promotes protection mainstreaming, and ensures that interventions are ethical, context-appropriate, and rights-based. Our mission is to support crisis-affected communities to recover from shocks, rebuild their livelihoods, and strengthen resilience for sustainable development.

ISDP’s success is anchored in strong governance, a skilled and committed team, effective risk management, and evidence-based programming. The organization maintains a steadfast commitment to quality programming, integrating robust monitoring, learning, and evaluation systems to improve performance and impact.
