Analysis

The DelAgua Clean Cooking project in Rwanda has a VVB-verified combined additionality test and no reported reversal events, but the absence of a stated buffer pool for a cookstove project with inherent permanence risk is a notable gap. Eleven contradictions across the document set—including two internal inconsistencies within the same monitoring report (FNRB and usage rate)—undermine confidence in the MRV data. The project is under-delivering relative to its pro-rata ex-ante expectation, which is conservative, but the data reliability issues warrant caution.
