Clean Cooking Programme Uganda

Audit Analysis

The UpEnergy cookstove programme in Uganda has a VVB-verified combined additionality test and a jurisdictional baseline, which are solid foundations. However, eleven contradictions across documents—including a major discrepancy in the crediting period (5 vs 20 years), a large FNRB gap (0.89 vs 0.39), and conflicting leakage deductions (0% vs 5%)—undermine confidence in the data. The absence of buffer-pool and reversal-event information for an avoidance project is a notable permanence gap.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Crediting period contradicts between the 2025 verification report (2021–2025, 5 years) and the 2024 verification report (2021–2040, 20 years); the 2025 report is privileged as more recent, but the discrepancy is unexplained
• ⚠FNRB value differs by more than a factor of two between the 2025 verification report (0.89) and an undated appendix (0.39); the 2025 report is privileged but the appendix figure is unexplained
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% in the 2023 verification report but 5% in an undated appendix; the 2025 report describes the justification as 'quantified' while the 2023 report called it 'deemed negligible'
• ⚠No buffer-pool percentage or reversal-event data found in any available document for an avoidance (cookstove) project with inherent reversal risk
• ⚠Baseline method is stated as 'project' in the 2020 monitoring report but 'jurisdictional' in the 2021 validation report; the validation report is privileged as the authoritative design document
