Arbitration has steadily become one of the most sought-after dispute resolution mechanisms in the global arena. With arbitration clauses and agreements becoming commonplace, more parties continue to shy away from mainstream court processes. In addition to traditional disputes, arbitration is now also used to resolve contemporary conflicts, including those related to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). However, there is a notable absence of African presence within international arbitration. Very few cases are being determined by African arbitral institutions, African practitioners,
or using African procedures. Informed by this background, this book discusses some of the challenges facing arbitration practice in the continent. It explores reforms that can be implemented to make Africa a more viable seat within international arbitration. In particular, this book highlights action plans that may be implemented by the different actors forming the ADR ecosystem in the continent.
