State reasons why African alternative dispute resolutions differ significantly from the Western dispute resolution mechanisms

State reasons why African alternative dispute resolutions differ significantly from the Western dispute resolution mechanisms

Answers

Faith
- Negotiation, arbitration, adjudication and other methods put together.
- It also does not have other elements of Western dispute resolutions such as confidentiality, the right and freedom to disagree with the mediators, flexibility, emphasis on a win-win outcome, gender sensitivity, trained and professional mediators, assurance of neutrality on the part of mediators, tackling emotional issues, signing of agreements, etc.
- Instead, the African alternative dispute resolution is in many cases open to every male member of the community.
- Some communities may tolerate the presence of female members.
- Its focus is the community rather than individual disputants, employing spiritual and community powers and traditions, gender specific orientation, elders playing a crucial role, and a verdict passed on who is wrong and who is right is that of the deciding authority and not reached by parties themselves.
