Abstract:
Transporting construction materials such as cement and iron rods to rural areas is challenging, and the mode of transportation takes many forms. Here, mules are carrying iron rods in sacks donated by the World Food Programme (WFP). Taken during the 1st phase of fieldwork conducted by the research team based at Social Science Baha in Kathmandu, Nepal, as part of the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant, ‘Expertise, Labour and Mobility in Nepal’s Post-Conflict, Post-Disaster Reconstruction’.
