This financial crunch is a result of the failure of some UN member states to pay their assessed contributions, the amount each country is expected to pay to cover the UN’s work and pay its staff. It is forcing the #UNOG to save over $15 million (CHF13.5 million) from its #budget while keeping essential functions. Geneva is not alone in this predicament: other UN offices such as New York, #Vienna and #Nairobi also face #budgetary constraints.
