Clean Cooking Programme Uganda

Audit Analysis

The project shows some strengths (VVB-confirmed additionality, FPIC and grievance mechanism, recent validation report) but has significant evidence gaps and contradictions around leakage, monitoring method and crediting period. Low extraction confidence and missing quantifications (buffer, baseline reassessment, usage rates) reduce overall confidence in claimed emissions reductions.

Project Description

In Uganda, over 96% of the population is dependent on dirty, unsustainable biomass for cooking. This is driving significant deforestation, and the country is now facing a projected future wood biomass deficit of over 100 million tonnes annually. Much of the population experiences energy poverty, spending significant amounts of their monthly income on expensive charcoal, also known as 'black gold'. The problem is that there is no affordable, accessible alternative cooking solution, and households remain trapped using basic, inefficient stoves that need replacing every few months. At Community Carbon, we deliver cleaner cookstoves to households in Uganda who are dependent on burning charcoal for cooking. Our stoves, manufactured locally in Uganda, have improved thermal efficiency and durability, reducing the amount of charcoal required for daily cooking, thereby reducing demands on vulnerable forests, reducing emissions, and improving lives. Our project is designed to fight energy poverty by stimulating community development, well-being, and creating tangible co-benefits that build greater climate resilience. We go outside of the initial project's scope and impact by reinvesting a portion of the carbon credit revenue back into the communities via the   Climate Resilience Impact Fund . This Fund invests in programmes that empower and educate women and girls, recognising their vital role in combating climate change. At Community Carbon, we value quality and credibility. We uphold meticulous procedures that guarantee high-quality carbon credits, quantifying emissions reductions precisely and transparently. This is made possible by managing the end-to-end project development process on the ground with a team directly employed to manufacture the project from manufacturing and distribution through to specialists who work to monitor and record stove usage during their lifetime.

Red Flags

• ⚠ leakage justification reported as not addressed in the validation report (contradiction with a later document claiming quantified leakage)
• ⚠ min_extraction_confidence is low and some source documents are listed as unknown or missing

Cosa migliorerebbe questo punteggio

• Provide the missing documents cited as 'unknown' and resolve contradictions by issuing a consolidated, dated report reconciling leakage, monitoring method and crediting period.
• Disclose quantitative monitoring details: verified usage rates, buffer pool percentage or reversal treatment, baseline reassessment timing, and a clear statement on CORSIA/CCP eligibility.

Questi suggerimenti indicano quali prove pubbliche aggiuntive potrebbero migliorare il livello di confidenza di questa valutazione. Non garantiscono un punteggio futuro più alto.
