    Foreign aid money has flowed to Ugandan groups that have amped up the already-charged anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment in a country where being gay could be a death sentence.

    Also in today’s edition: The Open Society Foundations, which is in the throes of a major makeover, says that by streamlining its work, it can scale up its impact.

    + Upcoming event: On April 27, we’ll host a free Devex career development roundtable on how to navigate the path from college to social impact or globaldev careers. Save your spot.
