• Brunei Government already started to make a conscious effort to shift the responsibility of upgrading 1V1P activities to local village communities;

• The effectiveness of 1V1P should be measured by the involvement of women’s and youth’s empowerment, capacity improvement of village leaders, people’s value and attitude, and the effectiveness of coordination among government offices, communities and private contributors.
