Revision history [back]

I worked in Nahine in Northeast Afghanistan for 14 months and took delivery of some truck loads of pipes from Pakistan, during some pretty difficult months of the year, so I sympathise with this request. I also know that some of the very fine clayey surfaces in that area were absolutely treacherous once it had rained. ACTED did some work on the road from Baghlan to Nahrine which helped greatly. So, you could contact ACTED, who have done a lot of road improvements work - they used to have some pretty good Afghan Engineers (in 2003).

Concern Worldwide used donkeys to bring aid to some areas of Northeast Afghanistan in 2002...the last resort, I guess, but maybe worth considering nevertheless.
