UN chief initiates organizational review amid growing funding cuts

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is launching a review, called UN80, to make the organization more efficient and cost-effective. The initiative aims to expand reforms and cut costs amid a worsening liquidity crisis. Guterres plans to propose changes quickly and involve member states in decision-making. The effort will be led by a task force to eliminate redundant programs and jobs, potentially saving money by relocating services to cheaper locations like Nairobi. Guterres emphasized the importance of these budget cuts while expressing concerns for vulnerable populations affected by the changes.
