This paper investigates whether NGO-provided basic healthcare crowds out or crowds in similar services provided by the government in rural Uganda. We find that NGO entry reduces the number of government workers, which leads to a reduction in government-provided health services. The results are driven by the NGO often hiring the government worker in places where skilled labor is scarce. In places where skilled labor is relatively abundant, the NGO hires a second person and complements government healthcare. Thus, the effects of NGO entry on government capacity are nuanced.

非政府组织提供的援助对政府能力的影响：来自乌干达的证据

本文调查了乌干达农村地区非政府组织提供的基本医疗保健是否会被挤出或挤入政府提供的类似服务。我们发现非政府组织的进入减少了政府工作人员的数量，从而导致政府提供的卫生服务减少。其结果是由于非政府组织经常在熟练劳动力稀缺的地方雇用政府工作人员。在熟练劳动力相对丰富的地方，非政府组织会雇用第二个人并补充政府的医疗保健。因此，非政府组织的进入对政府能力的影响是微妙的。
