To improve the ability of the national arbitrators and mediators, there is a need for training or capacity building programs for arbitrator and mediator for the National IPR so that they become arbitrators and mediators who meet the WIPO standard. This can be done through a special collaboration between the Agency for mediation and arbitration in Indonesia with WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center.
