The WORLD BANK to finance again, Here is what it means for us:

The approved new funding for projects in social protection, education, and support.

These aim to help vulnerable groups, improve schools, and support Uganda's large refugee population.

The projects include anti-discrimination safeguards to protect individuals.

The World Bank worked with Uganda and local stakeholders to test these measures.

The Bank emphasized its commitment to inclusive development for all people.

So here we stand, unseen but strong,
Our spirits stitched in silent song.
’s soil knows who we are,
Like hidden stars that light afar

THIS IS HOW WE ARE TO BE AFFECTED BY FUNDS CUT:
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Urgent liquidity crisis
• Internal forecasts suggest the UN could deplete funds by September and struggle to pay peacekeepers by **mid‑2025**, with a projected cash shortfall of $1.1 billion by year-end.

2. Massive budget cuts are in progress
• On May 5, UN officials outlined a first-of-its-kind $600 million (≈17%) reduction in the $3.7 billion core budget—initiatives include hiring freezes, relocating staff (e.g., from New York to Nairobi), and merging departments.

3. Major contributors behind on payments
• The US owes ≈\$1.5 billion in assessed dues, while China often pays late. Together, they cover more than 40% of UN funding.

4. Savings measures and restructuring (“UN80”)
• A task force dubbed “UN80” has been created to streamline operations—this includes targeting up to a 20% budget cut, consolidating agencies, shifting jobs to cost-effective locations, and trimming senior teams.

5. Consequences of continued shortfalls
• If action stalls or dues remain unpaid, the UN risks being unable to pay staff, suppliers, or maintain peacekeeping missions, exacerbating already critical global operations.

Oryem Nyeko, a senior HRW researcher, said: “For the last two years, LGBT Ugandans have suffered a range of abuses because of the government’s wilful decision to legislate hate against them.

In We hide not because we are scared,
But because the world has never cared.
Not because our love brings shame,
But because they’ve scorched it in law’s cruel name.
