UN proposes 18.8% staff cut and $3.2B budget reduction to address $760M funding shortfall.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has proposed an 18.8% staff reduction—2,681 positions—to 11,594 posts and a $3.238 billion 2026 budget, a 15.1% cut from 2025, amid a $760 million arrears crisis and low collection rates.
Only 66.2% of 2025 assessments were paid by September, risking a $450 million deficit.
The reforms, part of the UN80 Initiative, include payroll consolidation and relocation to lower-cost duty stations.
Despite cuts, core programs like peace missions and human rights offices will continue.
The Fifth Committee will review the plan, with final approval expected by December.
