WHO's management: struggling to transform a 'fossilised bureaucracy'

摘要

In the 1990s, WHO was poorly managed, over-centralised, and rife with political appointments Brundtland established mechanisms to tackle cronyism and raised awareness of the need for greater staff diversity But WHO is even more centralised now and remains top heavy and dominated by men and representatives of developed countries Some WHO staff say that senior management stifles open debate and internal dissent Brundtland has been more successful at raising WHO's profile internationally than at transforming the organisation internally.
