CPA1 - Man and Man Enterprise Improved Cooking Stoves Programme in Ghana (Brong-Ahafo region)

Audit Analysis
A VCS cookstove project in Ghana with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but significant data-quality concerns arise from multiple internal contradictions within the verification report (FPIC, grievance mechanism, safeguards, benefit-sharing all show conflicting true/false values). The project-specific baseline and absence of a stated buffer pool moderate the integrity profile, while the matching claimed and verified ERR figures for the most recent period support claim safety.
Red Flags
- The verification report (2024-12-31) contains direct internal contradictions: FPIC, grievance mechanism, safeguards, and benefit-sharing are simultaneously recorded as both present and absent, making it impossible to confirm community safeguards were implemented.
- Five Corrective Action Requests (CARs) were raised and resolved during verification, indicating the VVB identified material issues that required remediation before sign-off.
- The crediting period differs between the PDD (2018-11-30 to 2025-11-29) and the verification report (2017-10-20 to 2024-10-19), creating ambiguity about the actual project duration and remaining credit validity.
