The World Bank has suspended all roads projects it is funding in Uganda. This is after the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) failed to meet the environmental and social standards set by the bank.
"We have suspended all bank-funded projects pending a review and strengthening of the capacity of UNRA to adhere to the required environmental and social standards.
