Now, major U.N. agencies are making some tough — and urgent — calls to stay afloat.
I learned that UNAIDS has kicked off a restructuring plan in response to donor aid cuts. Switzerland gutted its entire funding for the program, and in recent weeks, the U.S. also terminated its awards.
It’s unclear how many UNAIDS programs are affected, but any funding loss from the U.S. government will be a major blow. The United States is UNAIDS’ biggest donor, accounting for more than 40% of its resources. No blueprint has been presented yet on the restructuring, but staff are already bracing for job losses, with some anticipating up to 40% of staff will be let go.
WHO is also tightening its belt. It froze hiring, reduced travel, and offered early retirement to staff. Senior leaders are also racking their brains about how to keep programs running on a much smaller budget.
Dr. Mike Ryan, who wears three hats as WHO deputy director general, executive director of the WHO health emergencies program, and now chair of the group leading the work on the reprioritization of WHO’s activities, gives a glimpse of what’s at stake.
He says they’re shrinking the two-year budget of the health emergencies program from $1.2 billion to $872 million, a decline of about 27%. And with that comes some “terrible” choices.
“The question is, what do you want to stop doing? You want to stop doing Ebola? You want to stop doing emergency medical teams responding to major disasters in the world? Would you like to stop intelligence gathering so that we know what the next epidemic or pandemic will be?” he says.
