Oxfam to cut jobs and quit 18 countries
[TheTimes] Oxfam is to cut nearly 1,500 staff and withdraw from 18 countries, with further jobs cuts expected at its Oxford headquarters.Oxfam International said that the cuts would affect about 1,450 of almost 5,000 programme staff, and 700 of its 1,900 partner organisations. The charity has been haemorrhaging money during the coronavirus outbreak after a slump in donations from the public in the UK because of the Haiti sex abuse scandal. Oxfam is to close its operations in Afghanistan, where it has worked for 50 years, and in Thailand. Oxfam Australia had already made deep cuts this month. Oxfam operates in 66 countries.
