The office made the announcement late Monday. It said Martelly will focus on job creation, education, security, reconstruction and health. The National Press Club has confirmed Martelly will speak at a news conference at its headquarters in Washington Thursday. The State Department has yet not announced a meeting between Martelly and Secretary Clinton, and it is not on her published schedule for Tuesday. Haiti's electoral council has declared Martelly the winner of the March 20 runoff, despite repeated delays in announcement of the official results. Martelly is expected to take office May 14, succeeding President Rene Preval. Haiti is struggling to recover from a devastating earthquake in January 2010 that killed more than 200,000 people and displaced more than a million. The disaster was followed by a cholera outbreak in October that killed thousands. Millions of people continue to rely on non-governmental organizations to meet their basic needs. The president-elect says his goals include free tuition for all children nationwide, housing for people living in tent camps following last year's earthquake, and strengthening the agricultural sector so Haiti can become more self-sufficient.
