<p>We have consistently raised concerns about the legislation with the Ugandan Government
at the most senior levels, and sought assurances on the protection of individuals.
Most recently, the Secretary of State for International Development and the Minister
for Africa raised the issue with the Ugandan President on 6 May. We will continue
to press the Ugandan Government at the highest levels to defend human rights for all.</p><p>
</p><p>The UK suspended all Budget Support to the Government of Uganda in 2013 following
the misappropriation of donor funds. After the passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Act
we assessed our programme to ensure that UK aid was not being provided to organisations
that proactively and publically promoted the legislation. Following this, the UK and
other donors suspended funding to one organisation. We will continue to monitor this
situation. We are also stepping up our support to human rights organisations that
protect minority rights in Uganda.</p><p> </p>
