Vice President Jalloh Engages British International Investment on Private Sector Growth
Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, held a strategic meeting with Chris Chijiutomi, Managing Director and Head of Africa at British International Investment (BII), to explore ways of enhancing private sector participation in Sierra Leone’s development agenda.
During the discussion, Vice President Jalloh underscored the government’s ongoing reforms aimed at improving the country’s investment climate.
In a social media post following the meeting, he stated:
“I used the opportunity to highlight efforts by the government to strengthen the investment climate in Sierra Leone and our interest in deepening private sector participation in key catalytic sectors like agriculture and energy.”
A major focus of the engagement was the energy sector’s critical role in driving economic growth and unlocking broader investment opportunities.
“We spoke at length about the foundational role of the energy sector in unlocking growth,” Dr. Jalloh noted.
“I identified opportunities for private sector investment across the entire energy value chain—from generation to distribution—and its potential to scale up private sector participation in other sectors once reliable and sufficient energy is available for productive use.”
The meeting highlights the government’s commitment to fostering investment partnerships that drive economic expansion and sustainable development.
