In response to Uganda’s approval of the Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023, a piece of legislation that aims to exterminate LGBTQ persons, Ugandan LGBTQ advocates have urged the World Bank to halt all existing and future loan payments to the Ugandan government. Outright International supports their request. Health, education, housing, employment, and economic infrastructure projects are among the government-sponsored initiatives that are supported by World Bank funding to reduce poverty.
