The Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, on Monday 1st December 2025, departed the Kingdom of Morocco for Paris, France, following his participation in a three-day High-Level Investment Forum held in Rabat.
The conference brought together representatives from nearly 80 countries, including Sierra Leone, under the theme “Bridging the Gap: Mobilising Private Capital to Unlock Africa’s Full Potential.” The 2025 edition recorded financial backing from 32 global private-sector institutions—twice the number in 2024—further cementing its status as a premier investment marketplace for the continent.
The Africa Investment Forum (AIF) Market Days opened on Wednesday 26th November 2025, with emphatic calls from government leaders and development experts for increased private-sector involvement, innovative financing mechanisms, and accelerated policy reforms to unlock Africa’s economic opportunities at scale.
Throughout the three-day event, Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh engaged strategically with governments, multilateral financial institutions, and private-sector leaders to expand Sierra Leone’s investment pipeline and deepen mutually beneficial partnerships. He underscored Africa’s strong capacity to attract substantial investment flows, particularly in sectors with long-term growth prospects. He commended the AIF for convening governments, investors, and development partners around initiatives driving sustainable development across the continent.
The Forum brought together over 2,000 participants, including private capital providers, international and commercial banks, multilateral development finance institutions, entrepreneurs, and senior government officials. Discussions focused on project structuring, capital mobilisation, and women’s access to finance.
Established in 2018, the Africa Investment Forum is a multidisciplinary platform designed to connect investors with project developers. It provides institutional support to accelerate bankability and advance projects toward financial closure.
