Who We Are

The Africa Mediation Association (AMA) is a non-profit organization that works collaboratively with citizens, public and private institutions to enhance the application of mediation as a viable and amicable dispute resolution model

Our Goal

We aim to strategically promote mediation as a results-oriented and impactful alternative dispute resolution mechanism among the citizens and institutions in Africa.

 

 

Our Objectives

  • The promotion of the code of conduct and standards for mediation in Africa

  • Advocacy to regional and sub-regional institutions to strengthen capacity and the effectiveness of the use of mediation.

  • To organize exchange and learning conferences.

  • To strengthen early warning and response mechanisms.

  • Research activities (for example, national and regional studies on the practical reception, specificities, and tools used for mediation in Africa).

  • Educating citizens and institutions on the need to prioritize mediation and not be quick to take cases to the court.

  • To develop a flexible manual for mediation in Africa.

  • To establish and observe the Africa Mediation Day annually.
