It’s moving season at the United Nations.
In the months since President Donald Trump unleashed his reign of foreign aid cuts, U.N. agencies have been looking to save money by accelerating the transfer of staff to more affordable cities in the global south, especially in Africa.
UNICEF, the U.N. Population Fund, and UN Women are transferring several hundred staffers from New York to Nairobi, Kenya, in part to save money, but also to station its workers closer to the beneficiaries of U.N. programs.
