KOTOZAFY MANANDRAIBE, CSO MEMBER OF THE COMMUNE OF MAHABO
"Thanks to the support project for civil society organisations, we have become aware of our duties and responsibilities through the mobilisation of citizens for good local governance. We have therefore organised concrete collective activities to develop the communes in a sustainable manner. We have also been able to encourage the Mayor of Mahabo to introduce transparency through the posting of paid services and the installation of an anti-corruption unit at the commune level."
