Attracting investment back to post-Ebola Sierra Leone

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Sierra Leone is still counting the costs of the Ebola epidemic, not least on its economy which contracted in 2014 and 2015, after several years of solid growth. Iron ore mining - its main export industry - came to a halt during the crisis. Now the West African country is trying to woo back investors and attract new ones. Sierra Leone鈥檚 Foreign Minister, Dr Samura Kamara, is in London for an investment conference. 麻豆社 Africa鈥檚 Paul Bakibinga asked him just how much investment the country lost as a result of the crisis.
