Matthew Lutos is the managing director of salon furniture company Beauty Planet Salon Design and Olymp UK and when it comes to salon design and how to retail – it’s his forte.

Last month Matthew expressed the need to clearly display your salon retail products and all the relevant information about each product. This month, Matthew suggests dedicating a retail manager to the area.

“In order for your retail business to be a success, every single member of your team needs to have in-depth product training. The biggest point of difference between a salon and the high street is that you have the professional expertise to offer clients. You’re the experts in creating a style and understanding what products are needed to get the look. Can you really imagine a supermarket assistant knowing what products are best for fighting frizz or what conditioner is best for redheads? Of course not, that’s why it’s vital that your team are truly experts in retail.

Managing waste and public space project is designed by Dunga Ecotourism and Environmental Youth Group to address the menace of waste in Dunga Beach, a growing tourist destination and a major fish landing site in Kisumu, Kenya. This we shall achieve by constructing bottle brick benches in the public spaces at the beach providing a lasting solution to plastic and polythene waste management at the beach and beyond. The bottle bricks are made by stuffing waste polythene into plastic bottles hence reliving the environment of the non biodegradable materials.

Managing Forced Displacement in Africa

How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons

Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.

Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.

The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.
