Our Story

Driving Ghana's Economic Growth

Born from a vision to redefine Ghana’s economic landscape.

AMKA INSTITUTE was founded with a simple yet powerful idea: that evidence-based solutions, strategic thinking, and inclusive development can transform economies and lives. What began as a small team of passionate economists and business professionals has evolved into a nationally recognized think tank driving sustainable growth across Ghana. Through collaborative partnerships, impactful research, and innovative consulting, we continue to empower institutions, influence policy, and shape a future where economic opportunity is accessible to all.

Our Vision for the future

We envision a Ghana where economic growth is not only measurable but meaningful—where businesses, institutions, and individuals thrive within a stable, equitable, and innovative environment. At AMKA INSTITUTE, our vision is to be a driving force behind this future. We seek to redefine economic development by promoting evidence-based decision-making, supporting entrepreneurship, and fostering a culture of strategic thinking at all levels of society. By delivering transformative insights and championing bold ideas, we aspire to help shape a Ghanaian economy that is globally competitive, socially inclusive, and sustainably driven.
