Prevention Innovations Research Center faculty fellow Nicole Fox?of California State University-Sacramento recently commented on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes in Ghana.
ADR is an alternative to the traditional model of litigation used in the U.S. ADR emphasizes conflict resolution and allows parties to solve disputes through mediation and arbitration.?
Fox notes that Ghana's ADR processes had "a role to play in preventing violence, strenghtening communities, ending inequality and poverty and giving more access to justice delivery" and are "an incredible example that the United States of America could learn from."
