ADR Daily, the premier media organization dedicated to promoting Appropriate (Alternative) Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Ghana, has launched a comprehensive survey aimed at assessing the effectiveness of ADR adoption across the country.
This initiative seeks to evaluate the impact of awareness campaigns, the level of ADR adoption, and user satisfaction with ADR services.
The primary objectives of the survey, titled “Assessing the impact of ADR adoption in Ghana,” are to assess public awareness of ADR mechanisms, particularly mediation; Evaluate the impact of awareness creation initiatives on the adoption of ADR mechanisms; Measure the extent to which ADR mechanisms are utilized by the public; Gauge user satisfaction with ADR services; and Identify barriers hindering the adoption of ADR mechanisms.
In a statement issued to launch the survey, ADR Daily highlighted the importance of the survey in understanding and enhancing the role of ADR in Ghana’s dispute resolution and justice delivery landscape.
“As a media organization committed to the growth of ADR, we believe it is crucial to gather empirical data that will inform strategies to promote ADR and improve its accessibility and effectiveness,” said the statement signed by Edmund Mingle, Editor-in-Chief of ADR Daily.
The survey will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques to provide a comprehensive assessment, it said, indicating that the findings from this survey will provide valuable insights into the current state of ADR adoption and implementation in Ghana.
“It will identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing structures and ADR services, offering actionable recommendations to enhance the adoption and effectiveness of ADR mechanisms,” it stated.
Explaining the background to the study, the statement noted that despite the recognized benefits of ADR, awareness and understanding of these mechanisms remain limited among the general public in Ghana.
The results will also be shared with policymakers, ADR service and training institutions, and ADR practitioners to inform future initiatives and reforms.
The statement urged the public and stakeholders to actively participate in the survey, as it encouraged everyone, “especially those who have engaged with ADR mechanisms, to share their experiences and insights since such feedback is essential in shaping a more effective and accessible ADR system in Ghana.
