The World Bank says it is lifting a ban on loans to Uganda that it had put in place two years ago when the country passed a draconian new law against LGBTQ people.
In 2023, Uganda voted in some of the world's harshest anti-homosexual legislation meaning that anybody engaging in certain same-sex acts can be sentenced to death.
Since then, hundreds of people have been evicted from their homes, subjected to violence or arrested because of their sexuality, according to Uganda's Human Rights Awareness and Promotion Forum.
But the World Bank says it is confident that new "mitigation measures" will allow it to roll out funding in such a way that does not harm or discriminate against LGBTQ people.
