  10. Institutions supporting VSS development

  11. VSS Evolution & Challenges • Maintain a portal approach – avoid replication of materials found elsewhere • Ensure VSS content & links are as up to date as possible and IT support remains robust • Ensure VSS content is appropriate for primary clients and is endorsed by relevant expert agencies • However, resources are constrained & need to develop greater use of VSS to determine where to devote future efforts • Pilot VSS as a support tool for training activities

  12. Next Steps • Pilot selected engagements in training centers to assess VSS effectiveness • Adjust VSS materials and links as required • Develop groups in social network tools to facilitate knowledge exchange on emerging & specific issues • Expand to other training activities based on pilot experience • Formalize roles of expert agencies to ensure content is best practice for the target audience
