Analysis

A Gold Standard cookstove project in Kenya with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but undermined by an extensive list of material findings (40+ items) spanning fNRB inconsistencies, double-counting concerns, and numerous data discrepancies across documents. The project delivered roughly 92% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation, which is reassuring, yet the fNRB was revised downward from 0.9188 to 0.29 between monitoring periods, raising questions about the robustness of earlier credit calculations.
