The Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Gladys Asonaba Dapaah, has implored practitioners of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to, among other things, leverage emerging technology, enhance professional development, and engage in regional collaboration to realize the full potential of their roles.
Speaking at the Mandatory Continuing Professional Development Workshop for members of the Ghana National Association of Alternative Dispute Resolution Practitioners (GNAAP) on Saturday, December 14, 2024, Madam Asonaba also asked practitioners to engage in advocacy for policy innovation and adopt global best practices within their field in order to maintain their status as an indispensable part of the justice system. "As we reflect on the current state of ADR and envision its future, one thing is clear: ADR is indispensable to our justice system.
Its ability to resolve disputes efficiently, build consensus, and maintain relationships makes it an essential component of justice delivery.
The insights shared today on integrating technology, enhancing professional development, engaging in regional collaboration, and advocating for policy innovation must inspire us to act decisively. "Let us commit to advancing ADR in Ghana by adopting global best practices, building robust systems, and equipping ourselves with the tools and knowledge to remain effective in an ever-changing globe.
