The Malawi International Arbitration Centre (MIAC) is a joint venture between the Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MCCCI) and the Malawi Law Society (MLS). Established in September 2023, MIAC aims to create a neutral, independent, and private-sector-led facility dedicated to the resolution of commercial, investment, and other disputes through arbitration, mediation, and similar processes. By offering these alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, MIAC seeks to enhance the business environment in Malawi by providing a more efficient, cost-effective, and accessible means of resolving disputes outside the traditional court system.
