WHO Announces Significant Layoffs Amid Funding Cuts

ai generated text

The World Health Organization (WHO) is facing significant financial challenges due to the non-payment of dues by the United States. According to WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the agency is being forced to slash operations and jobs due to a large salary gap caused by the sudden drop in income.

    1. We are reducing the senior leadership team at headquarters from 12 to seven, and the number of departments will be reduced by (more than) half, from 76 to 34.
    2. Without the increase, assessed contributions for the current biennium would have been $746 million.
    3. The sudden drop in income has left us with a large salary gap and no choice but to reduce the scale of our work and workforce.
    4. The refusal of the US to pay its assessed contributions for 2024 and 2025, combined with reductions in official development assistance by some other countries, means we are facing a salary gap for the 2026 to 2027 biennium of between US$560 and US$650 million.
