A distinguished financial economist and thought leader in sustainable finance, Dr. Dumenya’s work spans public policy advisory, academic research, and strategic engagements across the continent. He is widely recognised for his instrumental role in shaping Ghana’s emerging “24-hour economy” framework, and for advancing fiscally sound, resource-efficient financial systems that foster resilience, equity, and competitiveness.

Dr. Dumenya’s forward-thinking leadership ensures that Ecozak Africa remains at the vanguard of Africa’s green transition, mobilising capital effectively towards climate-aligned development while delivering measurable environmental outcomes and supporting just transitions across African economies.
