Rama Yade (born Mame Ramatoulaye Yade; 13 December 1976) is a Senegalese-born French politician and author who has been director of the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center since 2021.[1]
Rama was the French Secretary of Human Rights from 2007 to 2009, and the Secretary of Sports from 2009 to 2010. She was the Permanent Delegate of France to UNESCO from December 2010 to June 2011. She held the vice-presidency of the centre-right Radical Party up until 25 September 2015.[2] She announced her candidacy in the 2017 French presidential election, but was unable to obtain enough signatures to be a participant in the presidential race.[3][4] Her campaign was aimed at "the forgotten people" of France.[5]
