I recently had the privilege of attending the 7th Annual Arbitration Conference at Protea Hotels by Marriott in Dar es Salaam, held on August 22-23, 2024. The conference was themed “Navigating Complexities: Resolving Construction and International Investment Disputes.” As a member of the Tanzania Institute of Arbitrators (TIArb), I gained valuable insights from discussions on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the construction industry and international arbitration. One of the highlights for me was the Women in ADR Breakfast Dialogue, where we explored the “Challenges and Opportunities for Women in ADR.” Eng. Larissa Leach, Edith Twinamatsiko, MCIArb, and Bertha Mwarija were among the inspiring women who contributed to the discussion. During the dialogue, I highlighted common challenges women in ADR face, including gender stereotypes, cultural norms, institutional barriers, accessibility issues, and lack of awareness. I also shared resources, strategies, and opportunities to address these challenges, such as continuous learning, achieving work-life balance, and seeking career support. The conference opened with a keynote address by Judge Abdallah Halfani Ngozi from the High Court of Tanzania (Commercial Division) on Day One. On Day Two, Hon. Jumanne Sagini, the Deputy Minister from the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, delivered the keynote address. I want to express my gratitude and congratulations to the Tanzania Institute of Arbitrators (TIArb) Secretariat, led by our Executive Secretary, Maria Mruma, and the Tanzania Institute of Arbitrators (TIArb) Council under our President, Madam Madeline Kimei (MCIArb, FTIArb), for organizing this successful event and for their dedication to promoting arbitration in Tanzania.
