The Makueni Civil Society Network (MACSON) continues to stand out as a unifying voice for civil society organizations in Makueni County, fostering collaboration, transparency, and community empowerment. By embracing diverse CSOs and promoting social accountability, MACSON has played a vital role in strengthening governance and citizen participation in local development processes.
A notable achievement under MACSON’s leadership was the social audit of FLOCCA projects conducted across four wards—Wote, Emali-Mulala, Mukaa, and Masongaleni. The audit provided valuable insights into how community projects are identified, planned, awarded, and implemented. Several gaps were uncovered, including low community awareness of ongoing projects and limited information among some Project Management Committee members.
Despite these challenges, the audit also highlighted positive impacts where projects have meaningfully improved local livelihoods. For instance, in Masongaleni Ward, the Muliluni-Kiambani Water and Livelihood Enhancement Project has transformed lives through the reverse osmosis technology used to purify water for community use. Similarly, in Mukaa Ward, the Kwa Kakui Earth Dam has become a vital water source, supporting both households and livestock.
Through these initiatives, MACSON continues to demonstrate the power of collaboration, transparency, and citizen engagement in driving effective service delivery and sustainable development across Makueni County
