The African Arbitration Association and Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Kenya Branch are proud to jointly present the highly anticipated TAKUKA 2026 Conference — a landmark gathering set to redefine Africa’s role in the global dispute resolution landscape.
Under the theme:
Africa Decides: Sovereignty, Innovation & the Future of Dispute Resolution
TAKUKA 2026 will convene leading arbitrators, mediators, legal practitioners, policymakers, academics, business leaders, and ADR professionals from across Africa and beyond for five days of transformative conversations and strategic engagement.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving international legal and commercial environment, the conference will explore how Africa can shape dispute resolution systems that reflect its priorities, values, innovation, and sovereignty.

- The future of international arbitration in Africa
- Sovereignty and regional dispute resolution frameworks
- Innovation and technology in ADR
- Cross-border commercial disputes
- Investment arbitration and infrastructure disputes
- The role of African institutions in shaping global standards
- Diversity, inclusion, and youth participation in ADR
The conference aims to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and policy dialogue while strengthening Africa’s influence within the international dispute resolution ecosystem.
