Stephen Barnes, the program architect behind Sierra Leone’s GO-FOR-GOLD initiative, has committed to naturalising 4,000 families over the next 5 years using an instrument that’s been hiding in plain sight: Presidential prerogative under Section 27A of the Citizenship Act.
Stephen Barnes shares his insights into the innovative GO-FOR-GOLD Residency and Citizenship by Investment Program, which he helped develop for Sierra Leone. The discussion explores the program’s inception, structure, and transformative potential for Sierra Leone’s economy.
Sierra Leone is renowned for its rich mineral resources, particularly gold. However, beyond its natural abundance, what sets Sierra Leone apart is its evolving commitment to transparency, security, and ethical mining practices in its bid to forge a path in the Africa 2.0 story.
Sierra Leone, a country rich in natural resources, vast agricultural potential, and abundant minerals, is positioning itself as an ideal haven for those seeking stability in times of crisis. With its GO-FOR-GOLD PR program, the country offers a unique opportunity for foreign nationals.
