What is AMA?

The AMA, established in Singapore on August 17, 2007, is a leading regional organization dedicated to the promotion and application of mediation and ADR across Asia. Founded by five prominent mediation centers, namely, Hong Kong Mediation Centre, The Indonesian Mediation Center, Malaysian Mediation Centre, The Philippine Mediation Center, and Singapore Mediation Centre, the AMA strives to enhance the proper resolution of disputes and to provide access to resources for the settlement of business and commercial disputes through close cooperation among its members. These five premier mediation centers have grown into ten with the addition of members from China, Fiji, India, Japan, and Thailand. The Association operates under its Constitution and By-laws, with each member country taking turns to chair and host the biennial conference.
