The objective of this investigation was to assess the impact of multinational oil companies’ (MOCs) corporate social responsibility (CSR) interventions in female education programmes in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. A total of 800 rural women were sampled across the region. The results from the logit model showed that rural women depended on CSR interventions of MOCs to address some of the logistical and cultural challenges associated with women’s access to post-secondary education in local communities. However, despite the significant success in supporting education initiatives generally, none of the scholarships target females specifically, and compared to men, the low level of human capital in rural women has persisted. This implies that, if CSR interventions are not tailored to enhance gender diversity and promote economic opportunities for women alongside education, they may perpetuate the obstruction of women’s participation in economic, political and social development. By extension, this could delay the reduction of poverty and attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Niger Delta region.

企业社会责任干预对尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区女性教育发展的影响

本次调查的目的是评估跨国石油公司 (MOC) 的企业社会责任 (CSR) 干预对尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区女性教育计划的影响。该地区共抽取了 800 名农村妇女。logit 模型的结果表明，农村妇女依靠 MOC 的企业社会责任干预来解决与妇女在当地社区接受专上教育相关的一些后勤和文化挑战。然而，尽管在普遍支持教育举措方面取得了重大成功，但没有一项奖学金专门针对女性，而且与男性相比，农村女性的人力资本水平一直偏低。这意味着，如果企业社会责任干预措施不是为了在教育的同时提高性别多样性和促进妇女的经济机会，它们可能会长期阻碍妇女参与经济、政治和社会发展。推而广之，这可能会延迟尼日尔三角洲地区减贫和实现可持续发展目标 (SDG)。
