Save the Date: Asian Development Bank to Host Regional Meeting in October 2019

The Asian Development Bank will host the 2019 Asia Pacific Regional Advisory Committee (APRAC) at its Manila headquarters on October 16-18, 2019. The meeting will coincides with the celebration of Conflict Resolution Day on October 17 and will offer meaningful and productive discussions on the opportunities and challenges of Ombuds practices in this region.
A weekend getaway highlighting the richness of Filipino culture will be an optional activity separate from the annual meeting. Email Wayne Blair (wblair[at]adb.org) Angelica Alejandro (aalejandro[at]adb.org) or Arlene Pantua (apantua[at]adb.org) for information or to register.

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
