My guess is the billions that the US has spent to export evangelical bigotry in Africa.

Not to disagree, but a lot of other places spent billions on exporting bigotry to Africa. Unfair to give the US all the credit.

You are right that the US doesn't have a monopoly on this, but they are almost certainly the front runner. There are plenty of European conservatives that donate to these "causes" and we can't forget the Catholic church that has recently compared "gender ideology" to nuclear war. Russia has also been pushing conservative and anti LGBT views, though I'm not sure how much they are involved in Africa. I'm sure there are plenty of others that I'm leaving out.
