Abstract
Globally, the extractive sector is habitual with complex transactions, high financial stakes, and intricate regulatory environmental issues, often leading to disputes among stakeholders. This research rigorously assesses the role of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in the extractive sector as far as addressing conflicts within the industry is concerned. The research will also examine why the extractive industry needs to boost the role of ADR in conflict management. Furthermore, the study examines the challenges and limitations of ADR in the extractive sector, such as enforceability issues and the potential for power balance between disputing parties. The findings underscore the need to identify and choose from the various ADR frameworks on a case by case basis because each of these mechanisms have unique characteristics that might be suitable for one dispute but not suitable for the other in order to find a right path for effective conflict management in the extractive sector both in Uganda and globally.
