Summary
The article reviews changes undertaken in the past 8 years by WHO under its Director-General Tedros, including over a hundred reforms aimed at improved transparency and efficiency. Despite these steps, experts, and staff believe the agency is "top heavy", over reliant on few donors, and generally not yet "fit for purpose".Quotes
"The pace of reform has been too slow, and the organization still operates under a 'culture of deference' that hinders meaningful change.”
“A hiring freeze is currently in place at WHO, and some programs may need to be cut as the organization faces a funding gap of more than $600 million this year.”
“Governance reforms, including those aimed at increasing transparency and accountability, remain largely unfinished.”
“There’s a real risk that all these efforts will be wasted if the WHO is not able to address its funding model.”
