Élie Doté (born 1947?) is the current Prime Minister of the Central African Republic. Born in Bangui, he was appointed by President François Bozizé on 13 June 2005, in competition with among others the Director of the Commercial Bank of Central Africa Théodore Dabanga. Due to Mr Doté's long time abroad, he was at the time of appointment largely unknown in CAR, even among the politicians in the country.
He has a doctorate degree in rural economy and worked at the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Ministry from 1974 to 1980 before becoming an expert at the African Development Bank (ADB).
At the ADB, he held various portfolios within the agro-economic field. His last post was that of chief of agriculture and rural development since 1 August 2001.
In a cabinet reshuffle in early September 2006, Doté became finance minister in addition to his post as prime minister. [1]
Doté is married and the father of six children.
