Chirisa REDD+ Project
#42of 99 in REDD+#35of 154 in Intl. Carbon Registry (ICR)
Audit Analysis
The Chirisa REDD+ Project in Zimbabwe presents a structurally sound avoidance design with a jurisdictional baseline, 20% buffer pool, and no reported reversals. However, the evidence base is limited to a single PDD document, with no verification report, monitoring report, or named VVB available, creating significant gaps in independent assurance and transparency. The claimed emissions reductions are broadly consistent with the pro-rata lifetime expectation, but cannot be independently confirmed without a verified figure.
Red Flags
- No verification body (VVB) is named in the available record, and additionality verification status is not confirmed by an independent party
- No monitoring report or verification report is present in the evidence base; the verified ERR figure is not available, preventing independent confirmation of claimed reductions
- Leakage deduction is 0% for a REDD+ project where spatial displacement of deforestation pressure is a recognised risk, though the PDD states the justification is quantified
