<h1>UN Launches Major Workforce Reduction Plan, Targeting 14,000 Posts to Address Fiscal Challenges and Operational Efficiency</h1> The United Nations is seeking a 20% staff reduction across 60 offices and agencies to address a critical funding shortfall. The cuts affect approximately 14,000 posts, targeting redundant and non-critical functions. This reform initiative aims to consolidate operations and address budget constraints, with proposed cuts to be submitted by mid-June. The reduction is part of a broader effort to modernize the organization and address financial challenges from unpaid member dues.
