The massive reorganization that Open Society Foundations undertook two years ago has resulted in hundreds of staff cuts and the closure of several offices around the world. It’s part of a “fundamental transformation” that OSF chief Mark Malloch-Brown has said will allow it “to bring more focus, integration, and scale to our work.”
And more changes are yet to come under a new phase of the restructuring. OSF leaders will soon consider where else the enormous charitable foundation might close offices and reduce staff, Malloch-Brown told Devex in an interview in Washington, D.C., last week.
Next steps in the process will be discussed when its board of directors meet in June.
