The Dispute Board Federation has been involved in immediate Post-Conflict Dispute Resolution in developing countries for many years and with our newest office we have endowed and moved our  Public Policy Centre on Conflict Resolution to Singapore.  The Dispute Board Federation feels strongly that future conflicts can be avoided, peace maintained, and corruption lessened through the effective study and advocacy of dispute  resolution techniques, the promotion of dispute boards to lessen corruption in infrastructure project construction and by assisting developing coutries in prompt, effective and corruption free redevelopment.

It is with pleasure that we announce that Professor Paul Collier, CBE has joined our distinguished panel of advisors.  Professor Collier is Professor of Economics, Fellow of St Anthony's College, and Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economics at Oxford University.  He was formerly director of Development Research at the World Bank and advisor to the British Government's Commission on Africa.  In our next issue we will be interviewing Professor Collier both on his work as well as efforts in this expanding area of dispute resolution and prevention.
