  5. VFL 2011 Learning Review We want to ‘close the circle’ “Require ample time to receive a good feed back of the research process, outputs and outcomes. Between one and two years” “The next VPL should consist of small community projects, capacity building, mitigation, disaster resilience, and so on” “I would suggest to move from theory to practice or at least include some practical examples during which the high identified risk communities be involved in a live project."
