The 'One Village One Product' (1V1P) initiative in Brunei aims to enhance community unity and economic activities through the development of local products managed by village consultative councils. Implemented since 1993 and evolving since 2006, the program has faced challenges but resulted in increased economic activities, attractiveness of villages, and additional income for marginalized groups. Future plans include establishing dedicated 1V1P centers, improving product quality, and fostering international partnerships.
