Sierra Leone’s Vice President, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, has described the 2025 Africa Investment Forum in Rabat, Morocco, as a highly productive platform for advancing the continent’s economic prospects.
Speaking at the close of the conference which brought together global business leaders, heads of state, and private-sector stakeholders the Vice President said the gathering demonstrated strong private-sector interest in Africa and highlighted the growing opportunities to develop regional value chains in energy, mining, and agribusiness.
He noted that the discussions underscored Africa’s capacity to attract substantial investment, particularly in sectors critical to long-term economic growth. Dr. Jalloh also praised the forum for uniting governments, investors, and development partners around initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable development across the continent.
During the event, the Vice President held a bilateral meeting with African Development Bank Group Vice President, Sidi Ould Tah. Their conversation focused on President Julius Maada Bio’s commitment to accelerating the implementation of Sierra Leone’s approved African Development Fund portfolio, which Dr. Jalloh described as essential to maintaining momentum on the country’s development priorities.
He further commended the African Development Bank for its leadership in mobilizing stakeholders to unlock private capital for catalytic projects and expressed appreciation to the Government of Morocco for hosting the forum and supporting Africa’s continued drive toward partnership-based development.
