The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will undergo significant budget cuts, with a 17% reduction planned next year.
The cuts will impact headquarters and regional centers more heavily, facing a 23% reduction, while field operations will see a 17% cut.
Despite the financial squeeze, the ICRC aims to maintain critical operations in Ukraine, the Middle East, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan.
The organization says it must become more efficient, aligning with reforms launched in 2023.
The proposed plan is still subject to approval by the ICRC’s highest decision-making body, the assembly, in November.
