GS 1220 Ecological Stoves for Better Living - Micro Scale PoA - VPA1 Bolivia
GS-133 ↗ · current registry ID: GS1221
#203of 1329 in Industrial#359of 1801 in Gold Standard (GS)
Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard micro-scale PoA for efficient cooking stoves in Bolivia with a combined additionality test, FPIC, and grievance mechanism in place, but significant gaps in permanence treatment (no buffer pool, reversals not addressed), an unidentified VVB, and no verified ERR figure available for comparison. Multiple contradictions across monitoring reports on usage rates, ERR values, and leakage characterization reduce confidence in data consistency.
Red Flags
- Permanence risk unaddressed: reversal events are explicitly 'not addressed' and no buffer pool percentage is stated in any available document, despite the inherent risk that stoves break or are replaced with inefficient alternatives
- VVB name is not stated in any extracted document, making it impossible to confirm the independence and accreditation of the verification body
- Total ERR verified figure is not available in the extracted record, preventing any direct comparison of claimed versus verified reductions
- Usage rate dropped from 0.9 (2019 monitoring report) to 0.75 (2021 monitoring report) without a clear explanation of the methodological change, and the monitoring method shifted from 'annual survey' to 'telephone survey'
