Summary
UNICEF staff are mounting strong opposition to major budget cuts, warning that the reductions threaten services for children in wealthy countries and may severely hamper UNICEF’s fundraising capacity in Europe. Staff describe the situation as “organizational negligence,” expressing fears that core programmes face the risk of abandonment. Internal communications suggest that the proposed cuts go deep into staffing and essential operations, triggering critical internal backlash. The resistance is particularly evident in Europe, where fundraising systems could collapse if capacity is reduced.
Quotes
"Budget cuts will risk abandoning children in need in wealthy countries and undermine fundraising networks in Europe."
"...constitute 'organizational negligence,' and risk vital programs for vulnerable children."
