National ART guidelines recommend longer ARV refills to make it easier to collect treatment. But only 11% of people got a 3-6 month supply in the district. Thabo Mofutsanyana has made the least progress out of all districts monitored #ThaboMofutsanyanaHealth #FreeStateHealth

🚨 ALERT 🚨 World Bank Pres. Banga intends to restart lending to #Uganda 🇺🇬, even though its anti-#LGBTQI+ law still violates the Bank's own human rights policies. Call on Banga NOT to turn his back on human rights in #Uganda. Endorse here -> docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #RepealAHA23

What a bad take: forbes.com/sites/robertpe… Denial is an outcome predicted by governments determining equitable access to prevention, treatment and human rights doesn't warrant priority. Denial doesn't exist in a vacuum. It accompanies lack of political will.

It now has been proven: the The Wall Street Journal shows how #Russia did finance the 'Entebbe Family Values conference' to scale up the #Uganda anti-gay law. I first wrote about this in January: democracyinafrica.org/did-russia-pla…; article in The Wall Street Journal here: wsj.com/world/africa/r…

Truth comes out: Nicholas Bariyo & Gabriele Steinhauser expose the money & collusion between the Russian government, U.S. Christian extremists, and #Ugandan politicians who attack, scapegoat and terrorize #LGBTQ people while enriching themselves: wsj.com/world/africa/r… #RepealAHA23

🪧 Call to Action: Join us this Thursday for an Emergency Protest challenging World Bank's Decision to restart lending to Uganda. Information Below 👇🏾 Uganda Key Populations Consortium @smug2004 Chapter Four Uganda

We address the🐘 in the room: Humanitarians do themselves & most vulnerable a disservice by taking apolitical stances. We argue that the current humanitarian system produces well-vaccinated, dead children in Gaza, and pats itself on the back for it. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

"Our project, your problem?" - Fascinating analysis by Matthew Herder and Ximena Benavides on the MedicinesPatentPool and World Health Organization (WHO)-led mRNA vaccine technology transfer programme, suggesting critical design and governance flaws that risk undermining its good intentions journals.plos.org/globalpubliche…

Would add to this analysis (thank you @jtgathii) the fact that the "inclusivity chapter" of the #USKenyaSTIP doesn't name #LGBTQ+ people despite intensifying persecution & attacks, and there aren't binding actions protecting vulnerable people. Instead it seems merely performative

We called for action on global #LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms from across the Biden-Harris Cabinet. Human rights don't exist in silos. Secretary Pete Buttigieg Special Envoy Jessica Stern #RepealAHA23 Richard Lusimbo 🏳️‍🌈

Today's the day! Join us this morning to demand World Bank follow its own rules on anti-discrimination, and heed the demands of #LGBTQ and human rights activists--don't restart lending to Uganda! #RepealAHA23 ACT UP NY WACI Health Housing Works #RepealAHA23

Incredible to see Ugandan and African diaspora demanding the World Bank #StopFundingHate as it reconsiders loans to corrupt Museveni’s anti-LGBTQ+ govt. Solidarity knows no borders and Asia Russell fights every day for marginalised communities. Sending solidarity from the UK ✊

There's no way to a 'compromise' when discrimination is the purpose of Uganda's anti-LGBTQ+ law. World Bank itself said it best: "We believe our vision to eradicate poverty on a livable planet can only succeed if it includes everyone irrespective of race, gender, or sexuality."

📰 "The World Bank's mitigation measures are a facade, designed to provide the illusion of protection," said Richard Lusimbo 🏳️‍🌈 of #RepealAHA23 #RepealAHA23 Link: dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/… Chapter Four Uganda #SAYNOTOHOMOPHOBIA | SMUG🏳️‍🌈 Uganda Key Populations Consortium

4/ A true highlight was meeting Secretary Pete Buttigieg Buttigieg, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, who is a role model in our community. His words re-echoed the importance of visibility and representation. Our engagement with him was inspiring, and it reminded us how important it is
