Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to creating opportunities for Sierra Leoneans through stronger international partnerships focused on investment, job creation, and economic transformation.
Chairing a high-level roundtable on Monday 11th May with senior officials and UK High Commissioner Josephine Gauld, the Vice President called the engagement a significant step toward a new phase of UK–Sierra Leone cooperation—based on growth, reform, and long-term institutional support.
After the meeting, Dr. Juldeh Jalloh stated that Sierra Leone is moving beyond dependency toward a future driven by stronger institutions, private-sector investment, energy, and infrastructure development. He added that the government’s priority remains an enabling environment to attract investment and expand opportunities nationwide.
“Yesterday I chaired a high-level roundtable with Government officials and the UK High Commissioner to shape the next phase of our partnership—focused on investment, economic transformation, stronger systems, and long-term institutional support,” the Vice President said. He emphasized that the national development agenda centers on sustainable growth, welcoming what he described as the UK’s shift toward a “growth-and-reform partnership.”
The engagement reflects ongoing efforts by Sierra Leone’s government to strengthen international cooperation and build an investment-ready economy that delivers meaningful impact for ordinary citizens, especially young people seeking jobs and better economic prospects.
