Welcome to the Africa Centre for Dispute Settlement

The Africa Centre for Dispute Settlement (ACDS) at the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB) focuses on dispute practices that affect individuals and organisations. The Centre also has a particular focus on Africa to ensure that African heritage and values are incorporated in the development of solutions that suit African conditions.

The Centre acts as catalyst and thought leader in transforming the theory and practice of dispute settlement, and to contribute to the international development of this particular field.

Patron for the Africa Centre for Dispute Settlement: Archbishop Desmond Tutu
