KAMPALA, Uganda – The World Bank in Uganda says a project for which it is delaying a loan doesn't face an immediate shortage of money, allaying concerns that work to improve maternal and child health services could stall.
A severe anti-gay law signed by Uganda's president has upset the country's relationship with donors. The World Bank has postponed a $90 million loan.
Spokeswoman Sheila Gashishiri said Friday that the project run by Uganda's Health Ministry will continue despite the postponement.
At least 16 Ugandan women die in childbirth daily, a shocking statistic that made the project critical in the East African country.
The project was launched in 2010 and is set to close in 2015.
