Agroforestry and reforestation with small-scale farmers in Uganda

Audit Analysis
A smallholder agroforestry project in Uganda with VVB-confirmed additionality, a 10% buffer pool, and no reported reversals, but constrained by a project-specific baseline, a thin leakage justification, and a first monitoring period that delivered roughly 44% of the pro-rata lifetime expectation. The 90% verification-to-claim ratio and closed corrective actions suggest a functioning MRV system, while several key parameters (FNRB, usage monitoring, CORSIA status) remain unquantified in the available record.
Red Flags
- First monitoring period verified 4,692 tCO2e against a pro-rata expectation of ~10,600 tCO2e (65,216 lifetime × 5.7/35 years), i.e. only ~44% of the expected delivery for the elapsed period, suggesting the PDD baseline may have been optimistic
- Leakage deduction of 0% is justified only as 'deemed negligible' with no quantified analysis in the available documents
- Nine Corrective Action Requests were raised during verification (all closed), indicating recurring documentation or methodology issues
- FNRB value and method are not stated in any available document, preventing cross-check against national defaults
