This policy brief examines economic relations between China and Sierra Leone and the effect they have on Sierra Leone's development. The author argues that Chinese investment in Sierra Leone is unquestionably extremely important and may promote overall economic growth in the country. This investment, however, may not necessarily lead to significant employment generation and effective poverty reduction in the long term. The country’s institutions are still too weak to regulate the behaviour of private (hence not only Chinese) investors.
