[allAfrica] Harare — The World Bank said that it will stop making fresh loans to Uganda due to the nation’s contentious anti-LGBTQ law, Al Jazeera reports. The Washington, DC-based lender announced on Tuesday that it would halt project financing while it reviewed the steps it took to safeguard sexual and gender minorities from prejudice and exclusion in its initiatives. “Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act fundamentally contradicts the World Bank Group’s values,” the lender said in a statement.
