Design a Faster, Fairer Land Dispute Resolution System for Nigeria

Land disputes — over boundaries, inheritance, sale validity, and government acquisition — account for an estimated 25% of Nigerian court caseload and an unknown proportion of community violence. Formal litigation takes years and costs hundreds of thousands of naira in legal fees. Traditional resolution through community elders is faster but lacks legal enforceability. The result is that many disputes are simply never resolved. Your challenge is to design an alternative land dispute resolution service that is faster than litigation (target: under 90 days), cheaper (target: total cost under ₦50,000 per party), legally enforceable under Nigerian law, and accessible to parties who cannot read formal legal documents. Submit a service design document (max 12 pages) including: the resolution process flow, how mediators or arbitrators are selected and trained, how low-literacy parties are supported, how the outcome achieves legal enforceability, how the service is funded, and a plan to handle 1,000 disputes in the first year across two states. Judging criteria: 35% process design for speed and accessibility, 30% legal enforceability mechanism, 20% low-literacy support, 15% funding and scale model.
