Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard community safe-water project in Eritrea with a VVB-confirmed combined additionality test and a project-specific baseline reassessed in 2024. The project applies conservative caps on usage rate (95%) and per-person water consumption (7.5 L/day), and no reversal events were reported. However, the absence of a verified ERR figure, a 0% leakage deduction, and nine cross-document contradictions limit confidence in the claimed 30,528 ERR.

Red Flags

  • Total ERR verified is not stated in any available document, preventing an independent check of the 30,528 claimed ERR
  • Nine contradictions across documents (leakage justification, FNRB value, usage rate, crediting period, etc.) indicate inconsistent record-keeping
  • Borehole ZA017 was removed due to non-functionality and multiple forward action requests remain open for the next verification cycle
  • Sector classification is listed as 'industrial' despite the project being a community domestic water/energy-efficiency scheme, suggesting a registry data error
