The Academy was established due to the rising demand for improved expertise and training of arbitration practitioners in Africa and to expose African practitioners to the current trends and developments in international commercial and investment treaty arbitration. The inaugural Academy program was held in London (June 2019) and taught by international arbitration experts (academics and practitioners), heads of arbitration institutions, in-house counsel and judges. The overall objective of the Academy is to provide the much-needed specialized training to young arbitration practitioners from Africa and to equip them with the right set of skills to succeed within the international arbitration community. The three-week advanced training is offered using different formats including lectures, mock sessions and practical exercises. There are also mentoring sessions where renowned arbitration experts shared career tips and life experiences with participants. Participants were involved in team building exercises, networking events in law firms, and mock arbitration sessions. Through the lectures, mock sessions and practical exercises, participants expanded their perspectives on international arbitration and were enriched with better professional skills and knowledge.\r\n\r\nSince the inaugural programme in 2019, the Academy has been at the forefront of developments of interest to Africa and is always keen on leading the way to innovation and to developing the practice of international arbitration in the continent. The Academy has established several award-winning initiatives including the Model Bilateral Investment Treaty for African States and the Protocol on Virtual Hearings in Africa.\r\n\r\nThe Academy is led by Executive Director - Dr. Abayomi Okubote, FCIArb and Dean - Prof. Mohamed Abdel Wahab, along other management team members.
