Mediation Project Design in Developing Countries

One of the lucky one's getting off shore NGO dispute resolution design project work?

You may need this brand new and incredibly generous resource courtesy of the World Bank; Alternative Dispute Resolution Manual: Implementing Commercial Mediation

Using case studies, diagnostic and assessment tools, and marketing approaches, this downloadable manual provides strategies to build alternative dispute resolution programs in developing countries.

The manual appears to be primarily directed at project managers and practitioners involved in dispute resolution projects related to resolving commercial disputes.

Maybe James South from CEDR used it in Pakistan when he headed a project to establish a pilot court referred mediation centre in Karachi. He reports progress via his article - The Genesis of Mediation in Pakistan.

In November 2005 the IFC Private Enterprise Partnership-Middle East and North Africa launched the first mediation project in Pakistan in cooperation with the country’s government and the High Court of Sindh Province.

CEDR was engaged as the technical experts working on the project in 2006 to establish a pilot court referred mediation centre in Karachi.
