Asked by: Crispin Blunt (Independent - Reigate)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, which civil society organisations her Department supports in Uganda; and what policy each such organisation has towards the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Act.

Answered by Baroness Featherstone

The UK funds a number of civil society organisations in Uganda, including around 70 through the multi-donor Democratic Governance Facility. DFID has assessed our programme to ensure that UK aid could continue to be spent effectively and with maximum impact, and to ensure it was not being provided to organisations that proactively and publically promoted the Act. Following this, the UK and other donors agreed to indefinitely suspend funding through the Democratic Governance Facility to one organisation. We will continue to monitor this situation. The UK strongly opposes discrimination on any grounds.
