How does official development assistance (ODA) affect women’s rights in aid-receiving countries? We argue that ODA allows those donor countries who have more respect for women’s rights and who have the intention of spreading the norm of gender equality to successfully influence recipient countries, and thus improve women’s rights in aid-recipient countries. We argue that this is possible because aid is equipped with technical assistance, donor conditionality, and donor-recipient collaborative projects that can be tailored to address a specific policy objective and that are ripe with opportunities for transfers of technical know-how and synergistic exchanges of local and global norms. We further contend that the effect of foreign aid on the improvement of women’s rights is conditional on donors’ respect for women’s rights at home: foreign aid from countries with more equal women’s rights has a stronger positive effect than that from countries with less equal women’s rights. We illustrate the plausibility of our theoretical argument in the context of a case of aid projects in Bangladesh and use statistical analysis to test our argument more systematically. We show that aid in general, and aid from France and the Nordic countries - those with better provision of women’s rights at home among major aid donors - in particular exert positive effects on improving women’s rights in recipient countries from 1981 to 2011, after controlling for political, socio-economic, and regional factors.

官方发展援助与妇女权利

官方发展援助(ODA)如何影响受援国的妇女权利?我们认为,官方发展援助使那些更加尊重妇女权利并打算传播性别平等准则的捐助国成功地影响受援国,从而改善了受援国的妇女权利。我们认为这是可能的,因为援助配备了技术援助,捐助者有条件的援助以及捐助者与接收者的合作项目,这些项目可以针对特定的政策目标进行定制,并且具备转让技术知识和协同交流的机会。本地和全球规范。我们进一步认为,外国援助对改善妇女权利的影响取决于捐助者在国内尊重妇女权利的条件:妇女权利平等国家的外国援助比妇女权利平等国家的外国援助具有更强的积极作用。我们在孟加拉国的一个援助项目中说明了我们的理论论证的合理性,并使用统计分析更系统地检验了我们的论证。我们表明,从总体上看,以及法国和北欧国家的援助(主要援助捐助者中在家中提供妇女权利的国家更好),特别是在控制了1981年至2011年期间,对改善受援国的妇女权利产生了积极影响。政治,社会经济和地区因素。我们在孟加拉国的一个援助项目中说明了我们的理论论证的合理性,并使用统计分析更系统地检验了我们的论证。我们表明,从总体上看,以及法国和北欧国家的援助(主要援助捐助者中在家中提供妇女权利的国家更好),特别是在控制了1981年至2011年期间,对改善受援国的妇女权利产生了积极影响。政治,社会经济和地区因素。我们在孟加拉国的一个援助项目中说明了我们的理论论证的合理性,并使用统计分析更系统地检验了我们的论证。我们表明,从总体上看,以及法国和北欧国家的援助(主要援助捐助者中在家中提供妇女权利的国家更好),特别是在控制了1981年至2011年期间,对改善受援国的妇女权利产生了积极影响。政治,社会经济和地区因素。
