A decade after the end of Sierra Leone’s civil war, the country’s rich mineral and
agricultural potential is generating considerable interest from foreign investors.
The general public in Sierra Leone holds high expectations of an investmentaccelerated peace dividend that will provide jobs and economic growth on the
basis of rich natural resources. But the legacy of governmental collapse during
the conflict, together with the historical tendency of extractive companies to
underdeliver on promises of social benefits and environmental protection, present
risks for the peacebuilding process, as well as for efforts to promote inclusive
socioeconomic development.
