The EBRD team has greatly benefited from the support of an External Advisory Panel (EAP).


The role of the EAP was to provide a platform for the exchange of expertise and experience in the area of commercial dispute resolution, development of performance indicators and the digital transformation of courts with a view to improve the assessment methodology, set of indicators and guidelines. 


The EAP comprised of representatives of the academia, international development organisations, NGOs, intergovernmental organisations and other relevant actors with a vast experience in the dispute resolution sector.
