Conclusions From the purposes of the study, the researcher generated the following, Strengths , Most of the respondents were young people ranging from 20-39 years and highly educated from degree to masters indicating that most of the JDPS are managed by educated persons. The staffs of IDPS in Hargeisa have enough education, performance; have enough experience, enough training and enough qualification. These satisfactory aspects indicate that the IDPS staffs in Hargeisa have enough qualification and can perform the required duties if properly equipped. The staff of IDPS in the stipulated research areas was found out that they had different abilities which included leadership, team work proving that they were satisfactorily good managers and could run the functions of IDPS. Weakness There were less female respondents in the research as compared to their male counterparts. This means that women in this part of Africa are still lagging behind the trend of new development and expression. Most of the services are provided by men which minuses the statuses of women in service provision which are purposed to be provide by women for instance helping Internally Displaced people. The null hypothesis of “No significant relationship between Staff quality and management of IDPS” was rejected. A conclusion was taken that staff quality and management of IDPS is very crucial in the provision of services to internally displaced persons in Hageisa. For instance the work of social service providers can be best addressed through their level of education and experience. The researcher recommends that there is need to up lift the quality of staff through promoting their capacity to attain knowledge, skills, experience and other related aspects that can turn them in to very active service providers. More women should be empowered to take part in active research and also should be employed in the IDPS due to their human nature and ability to serve as mothers and active persons. Enough equipment should be provided to service providers JPDS so as to actively serve the people in IDPS. These can be mobilized through various ways including government and donor NGOs in the country and the world as a whole.
