      <image:title>RDM  Suitability Index</image:title>
      <image:caption>We can see from the above that the two marked out villages that have been chosen, Van Quan in red and Chi Lang in black, are in the top 25% and 12% of the RDM values in the country. This means these villages are very suitable to apply our rural sustainable development framework. From the map, we can clearly see areas which may have potential, promising sites - high RDM Suitability Index value (yellow)- e.g. areas inland from the coast and close to the northern borders with Laos. This information will arm policy/decision makers with quantitative information about where to efficiently invest for rural sustainable development.</image:caption>
