Web post shared by Niloufar Pourzand

From Ian Richards

Let us show solidarity with our colleagues at UNHCR and WFP as more devastating news emerges of job cuts.

Staff have now been informed of:

* UNHCR - 23 % cut in the field and 30% overall reduction at headquarters and regional bureaus, with a 50% reduction in P5 to D2 positions

* WFP - 25 to 30% cuts overall

A gathering in solidarity with downsized colleagues of the UN system is being organized next Thursday, 1 May at 12:30 pm at the Place des Nations, Geneva.
