The World Bank is confident that new measures will ensure that funding does not harm LGBTQ individuals while maintaining its mission to alleviate poverty. Recent projects approved include initiatives in education and social protection, despite ongoing debates regarding the impact of international financial institutions on sustainable development in poorer nations.

Analysts highlight that the World Bank plays a crucial role in Uganda's infrastructure projects but express concern that its funding model may perpetuate dependency and limit long-term growth. Critics of Uganda's anti-LGBTQ law argue that it distracts from pressing issues such as unemployment and political repression. As the global community continues to respond to the situation, the Ugandan government maintains that the law aligns with the country's cultural values.
