I examine the ability of donors to target the highest exposure to malaria risk when the health information structure is fragmented. I exploit local variations in the risk of malaria transmission induced by mining activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as financial and epidemiological data from health facilities to estimate how local aid is matching the local malaria burden. Using fine-grained data on mines and health infrastructure in a regression discontinuity design, I find no evidence that local populations exposed to the highest risk of malaria transmission receive a proportionately higher share of aid compared to neighbouring areas with reduced exposure to malaria risk.

接触疟疾风险会增加对疟疾的援助吗？来自刚果民主共和国矿场的证据*

当健康信息结构分散时，我检查了捐助者针对最高疟疾风险暴露的能力。我利用刚果民主共和国采矿活动引起的疟疾传播风险的当地差异以及卫生设施的财务和流行病学数据来估计当地援助如何与当地疟疾负担相匹配。在回归不连续性设计中使用关于矿山和卫生基础设施的细粒度数据，我发现没有证据表明与疟疾风险较低的邻近地区相比，暴露于疟疾传播风险最高的当地人口获得的援助比例更高。
