Specific strategies mentioned include designating staff for retention efforts, providing resources for existing businesses to expand on the economic development website, and maintaining relationships with local business leaders.

Export S.A. in 2000 and 2002 to operate hair salons in New Delhi and Mumbai respectively under the brand 'Jacques Dessange'. In 2003, the parties agreed to a master franchise agreement allowing the plaintiff to open additional salons in other cities. The plaintiff incurred costs to prepare for new salons based on this agreement.

The new Government is currently preparing a child poverty strategy, and hoping to emulate the success of the last Labour government, which lifted over half a million children out of poverty over its first five years. This ambition is needed too, because unless action is taken, poverty rates are expected to rise over the course of the parliament. But Britain in the mid-2020s is very different to the late-1990s a new approach will be needed to lift children out of poverty over the next decade.
What reduced child poverty in the late-1990s and 2000s, and to what extent can that approach be repeated today? What is the role of work, housing, and social security in lifting families above the poverty line? How much might it cost to deliver a successful child poverty strategy? And what are the costs of not doing so?

Article review by Liben Tsegaye |PhD student in DRMD , AAU|EGCDWO
油
This article review critically assesses a study on the decentralization of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in Ethiopia, focusing on the Oromia region. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the article's methodology, findings, and policy implications, as well as to offer recommendations for further research. The method for the review was content and comparative analysis. The article employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative content analysis and quantitative statistical tools such as STATA version 14 to analyze data from government representatives. Major findings reveal that while decentralization of DRM is better understood at higher administrative levels, its effectiveness is limited due to challenges in training, technology, collaboration, and local capacity. The article highlights that administrative decentralization is more effective than fiscal or political decentralization. However, the research has notable weaknesses, including a limited sample size and reliance on participants' opinions rather than objective indicators measurement, leading to superficial findings. The review suggests that the research methodology could be improved with secondary data and a case study approach to gain a more comprehensive understanding of DRM decentralization. Recommendations for further research are made, emphasizing the need for a more robust analysis and actionable policy guidance.

The war in Ukraine has led to significant destruction of cultural heritage, including historic landmarks, museums, libraries, and religious sites. Russian attacks have damaged or destroyed hundreds of cultural institutions, including the Mariupol Drama Theater, the Kharkiv Art Museum, and the Skovoroda Museum.

Brief History
油Africa is the 'cradle of humankind', the place where the first human beings lived 5 to 10 million years ago.
Fossils found in Africa, show that the modern human beings spread from this continent. One of the earliest evidences of human life were found in South Africa.
Many powerful kingdoms existed on the African continent in the early history and the Middle Ages.
Between the 5th and 15th century, African slaves were traded mainly by Arab traders.
In the late 19th century Europeans started conquering Africa which was then colonised in the 19th and 20th century mainly from Britain and France, but also from the Dutch, Italian and Germans.
