Resolving Disputes In The Tanzania Mining Sector

Abstract

In today's socioeconomic activities, the avoidance of disputes is almost impossible. As much as there are different methods used for controlling and preventing disputes in society, the fact that disputes cannot be avoided completely makes it necessary to have mechanisms to resolve the same when they emerge. Mining activities are not immune to conflicts between different stakeholders in the sector. Therefore, there is a need for a dispute resolution mechanism to ensure the prosperity of the sector, which is vital for the global economy. Tanzania, being one of the jurisdictions with significant mining activities, has put in place different modes of dispute settlement. This paper examines various modes of settling mining disputes that different stakeholders in Tanzania's jurisdiction can use.
