Mobilising diaspora capital for Sierra Leone’s growth

Policy brief Dec 2025 Sustainable Growth

There is strong demand and appetite across government and the private sector to mobilise diaspora investment, particularly as official development assistance declines and the need for innovative financing grows.

However, despite this demand, structural bottlenecks continue to limit scale and impact. To enable diaspora investment to flow in a predictable, scalable, and sustainable manner, Sierra Leone must address gaps in policy and ensure an enabling environment for diaspora investment.
