salud". A propósito de las prácticas de transferencia de conocimiento desde una institución de
educación superior universitaria a profesionales que laboran en temas de población y salud. Esta

a distance education program offered by United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA) in collaboration with Central
American Population Center of University of Costa Rica
(CCP-UCR) and Mauritius Institute of Health (MIH) of the
Mauritius Ministry of Health & Quality of Life.
The program consists of 7 courses on population and health;
participants receive materials and tutoring over the Internet
(email and other means of communication, 40 hours of
participation). Tutoring can be in English, Spanish or
French, according to preference of participants. Since 2005,
external partners and UNFPA are collaborating in this
program. Program administration is located in Central
America, management at UNFPA headquarters and
tutoring at both Central America and Africa. Participants
register online from many countries worldwide, registration
from 104 countries were received last year.
The program is offered in 8-week periods for 7 courses and
organized in 4-5 yearly terms. Each course is either tutored
by an English-French spoken tutor or by an English-
Spanish tutor.
Results show a mean completion rate of 61,3 ± 7 with a
median of 61,2 in 2005-2011. Participants evaluate course
tutoring and administration after it finishes. Evaluation
results are anonymous and participants comments are
submitted to each tutor in order to know what worked well
and what did not in the course.
DLPI is an ongoing experience of inter institutional
collaboration between an international cooperation
institution (UNFPA) and external partners (higher
education and health public institutions) which contributes
to continued education of workers.
Index Terms—Distance Education, Distance Learning,
Training Support, Capacity Building.
