New mediators and arbitrators will help resolve disputes outside of traditional court proceedings.
31 new specialists in mediation and arbitration have completed training in Ivory Coast, preparing them to help resolve conflicts. The training equips them with tools to prevent disputes and facilitate resolutions outside of formal court procedures.
Vice-president of the National Assembly, Ouattara Brahima, sponsored the ceremony and highlighted the importance of these mechanisms for peace and social cohesion. He urged the graduates to perform their duties with professionalism, impartiality, integrity, and discretion.
The graduates, represented by Becanthy Coulibaly, thanked trainers and officials from the Centre for Research and Professional Training in Mediation and Negotiation (CERFOPMAN). The UCAO and its partners aim to foster a culture of dialogue and peaceful dispute resolution across Ivory Coast through this new cohort.
