About me
I am Bernard Benario Ahodia, a Ghana-based economics researcher, data analyst, academic writer, development practitioner, and Founder of Phronesis Rhema Institute. I connect rigorous inquiry with practical action across policy, technology, leadership, entrepreneurship, ministry, and youth development.
My academic interests lie in Econometrics, Mathematical Economics, Development Economics, Public Policy, International Trade, Statistics, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Quantitative Research. I am passionate about using rigorous analytical methods and modern technologies to transform data into meaningful insights that support informed decision-making and evidence-based policy formulation.
I provide professional support in research, statistical analysis, economic modelling, policy evaluation, project development, academic writing, and strategic consulting. My approach combines analytical thinking with practical problem-solving to deliver solutions that are accurate, innovative, and applicable across academic, governmental, private, and non-profit sectors.
I am proficient in R, Stata, MATLAB, Python, SPSS, SQL, Microsoft Excel, Power BI, LaTeX, Git, GitHub, and Artificial Intelligence technologies, enabling me to build robust analytical models, automate workflows, conduct advanced statistical analyses, and develop reproducible research.
Beyond my academic and professional work, I am deeply committed to leadership, mentorship, youth development, and nation-building. Through speaking engagements, training programmes, research mentorship, and community initiatives, I seek to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to become transformational leaders.
As Founder of Phronesis Rhema Institute, I lead initiatives that promote Practical Wisdom for Daily Living. The vision is to bridge the gap between knowledge and application by equipping individuals to make wise decisions, cultivate strong character, discover purpose, develop leadership capacity, pursue academic and professional excellence, and live lives of lasting impact.
Through leadership training, mentorship, biblical teaching, educational programmes, research, and community outreach, the organization is committed to raising knowledgeable, principled, and purpose-driven individuals who positively influence society.
“Knowledge is most valuable when it produces wisdom, wisdom inspires action, and action creates lasting transformation.”This philosophy guides every research project, leadership initiative, consultancy engagement, and educational programme that I undertake.Download CV
