Abstract

Purpose
This study analyzed the effects of a health policy capacity development education program as a publicprivate partnership (PPP) model in official development assistance (ODA) for health policy administrators.
Methods
Between October 2015 and September 2017, 41 participants from underdeveloped countries completed the three-week education program at K university, following the official selection process of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and each country’s embassy.
Results
The effects of the health policy capacity development education program differed significantly according to participants' age (p=.043), country region (p=.045), and academic or professional degree (p=.007). Academic or professional degree significantly predicted the effects of the program (β=.41, p=.007), explaining 21.7% of the variance in the regression model.
Conclusion
The current selection process for ODA program participants considers recommendations from each country’s embassy to determine eligible candidates. The hosting institution’s opinions or suggestions regarding participants’ professional expertise or work experience, country region, or demographic characteristics should also be considered in the participant selection process.
