Following budget cuts by the United States and other countries, the UN has been forced to reduce its budget for 2026 by 9.2%. The budget being prepared for 2027 is expected to remain \u201cstable\u201d, Guy Ryder, the Under-Secretary-General for Policy, told the media in Geneva on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
+ What\u2019s next? Moving on after losing a job in International Geneva<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe Secretary-General has not proactively planned any further job cuts or budget reductions,\u201d he added. However, he emphasised that the UN \u201crelies heavily\u201d on mandatory and voluntary contributions from member states.<\/p>\n However, the outlook for international funding remains \u201cvery uncertain\u201d, Ryder added. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is in regular discussions with the US Ambassador to the UN in New York, Mike Waltz, about paying its contributions.<\/p>\n Outside the Secretariat, tens of thousands of posts have been cut at UN agencies based in Geneva. And several thousand have been cut at their headquarters.<\/p>\n Among the current initiatives, efforts are being made to pool the procurement, storage and distribution of humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n \n More<\/p>\n More <\/p>\n Geneva organisations\n <\/p>\n Ripple effect of aid freeze becomes real in Geneva \u00a0 <\/p>\n This content was published on <\/p>\n Aug 26, 2025 <\/p>\n Geneva is reckoning with fewer funds, fewer people and competition from cheaper countries vying for an international role. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read more: Ripple effect of aid freeze becomes real in Geneva \u00a0 + How we produce English news<\/a> Articles in this story <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UN does not plan any further job cuts but is not ruling anything out Keystone-SDA The United…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7],"tags":[101,567,2143,65,100,103],"class_list":["post-98935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-geneva","tag-article","tag-beat-international-geneva","tag-foreign-affairs","tag-geneva","tag-latest-news","tag-production-type-deepl-autotranslation"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116878619943320816","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Geneva](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1783426117_22_607720780_highres.jpg\")
