Abstract
The construction sector has a significant impact on the growth of a state, either directly or indirectly. Since the growth of infrastructure is crucial for Ethiopia. However, due to the numerous players in the market which makes things complicated, disagreements are frequent and often unavoidable. So, it needs to use dispute resolution procedures properly.
Globally, strategies of dispute prevention and amicable dispute settlement are strongly advised as being a more efficient way to resolve disagreements. One of the most productive ways to resolve a disagreement amicably is by using each multi-peaceful tier technique step-by-step and employing a variety of amicable tools are efficient.
Therefore, the goal of this study is to analyze the legal framework and institutional practice of amicable dispute settlement via multi-tier mechanisms in Ethiopia, particularly in the Addis Ababa construction industry. Further, the study adopted a qualitative research design. Both doctrinal and empirical approaches were employed in data collection.
However, multi-stage peaceful conflict settlement mechanisms, such as med-arb and mini-trials, are uncommon in the construction industry. Furthermore, disputants rarely settle disputes using multi-tier amicable resolution processes.
Consequently, developing a thorough legislative framework, guidelines and procedures, raising awareness, and introducing institution centres that serve both the nation and the rest of the world suggested a major recommendation.
