The Dispute Board Federation
The Dispute Board Federation was founded to promote the use of Dispute Boards, as a means of dispute avoidance on large infrastructure projects in developing countries.
It has expanded over the past few years to encompass not only the use of dispute boards in construction projects but also their use in the manufacturing, concessions, hospital, and development sectors.
The Federation also provides advice and assistance in the development of infrastructure projects, trains and accredits dispute board members, produces standard forms for use in dispute boards and dispute avoidance on projects, acts as an appointing body for dispute board members, and provides training and assistance in other areas of effective dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration.
Areas of Operation
The Dispute Board Federation originally focused its efforts on the rebuilding of Eastern European countries and has now expanded its role to cover Europe, Asia, South America and Africa and currently provides assistance in over 23 countries worldwide.
