Due to the adverse impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ukraine-Russia war, global supply chain challenges, complex nature of large infrastructure projects among others, there has a been a sharp rise in the number of disputes in long-term infrastructure projects across the globe.
In the African landscape, as government seeks to pursue more infrastructure development through Public-Private Partnerships, the focus should be providing comfort to the private sector that there is in place a speedy, efficient, independent and amicable dispute resolution framework that protects the interests of all the parties involved in the project.
As part of our objective to continuously build the capacity of the alumni of the Africa Project Finance Program, we are excited to host Benjamin Ng'eno, a Deputy Counsel at the International Court of Arbitration, a dispute resolution wing of the International Chamber of Commerce as he explores practical aspects of dispute resolution in Africa's infrastructure projects.
Through the session, we hope to understand how to avoid infrastructure project disputes, which laws should be relied upon when disputes arise, practical cases of disputes in Africa and the role of the International Chamber of Commerce in dispute resolution in Africa.
