Alternative Dispute Resolution Guide
Source: USAID | Year: 1998
This Guide is intended to provide an introduction to the broad range of systems that operate under the rubric of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). It is designed to explore and clarify the potential uses and benefits of ADR and the conditions under which ADR programs can succeed. It is written to help project designers decide whether and when to implement ADR programs in the context of rule of law assistance or other development initiatives. The Guide is also explicit about the limitations of ADR programs, especially where they may be ineffective or even counterproductive in serving some development goals.
With the caveat that data systematically evaluating ADR programs both in the United States and abroad is hard to find, we believe valid conclusions can be drawn from the evidence we have been able to collect and review, as well as from CMG's and our advisory team's experience designing and managing ADR programs around the world. It is important to note that the primary focus of the Guide (and therefore of the research) is on the uses of ADR related to the rule of law; other applications of ADR are discussed but not as thoroughly explored.
