Activity Description: ITDG (Practical Action) Sudan's transport programme in Kassala and Gedarif States helped to design affordable carts for transportation. These carts are durable, made locally, and can help generate income of about 2,000 Sudanese Dinars (US$ 7.50) daily for the owner or operator. They also provide cheap transport for users and save time in tasks such as hauling water.

Over 200 carts were manufactured and distributed for the use of poor families during 2001/ 2002. More than 40 metal workers were trained in making wheels and different forms of intermediate means of transport devices including carts.
