43文章以联合国2030年可持续发展目标中“性别平等和增强妇女权能”为背景，考察了中国援助对撒哈拉以南非洲女性赋权的影响。文章利用AidData中国基础设施援助地理信息，将其与26个受援国的37万余名女性样本进行空间匹配，基于此构建微观层面识别框架，比较已受援地区、即将受援地区与未受援地区女性的赋权差异。研究发现，与其居住地附近存在即将落地的援助项目的女性相比，居住地附近50千米范围内已有中国援助项目的女性，其综合赋权指数会提高0.0256个标准差。机制分析表明，中国援助通过改善女性劳动力市场表现、缓解其时间贫困以及拓宽其信息获取渠道来推动女性赋权提升。进一步分析结果显示，上述赋权效应在不同基础设施类型、援助密度以及个体特征下存在显著异质性。文章从女性赋权视角丰富了中国援助的社会效应研究，并为评估南南合作在促进包容性发展和性别平等方面的作用提供了新的经验证据。
