Olivier Barrau, a declared candidate for Haiti's presidency, has set out three priorities for his campaign: security, education and jobs, Juno7 reported on Tuesday, October 27.

Barrau, who describes himself as an entrepreneur who has founded six companies, called security the first priority, arguing that schools, economic recovery and family life depend on the state's ability to protect people while respecting fundamental rights. On education, he proposes better learning conditions, support for teachers and training that prepares young people for work, and he pledges more training, job and business opportunities for young people.

He says the plan would be financed by strict management of state resources, higher public revenue and new investment, and that every commitment must rest on credible funding and verifiable goals. “Running a country is not running a company,” he said, according to Juno7. The article did not name his party or give a detailed budget.
