Audit Analysis

This Gold Standard improved-kitchen project in Eritrea has a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and a recently reassessed baseline, but suffers from a missing buffer pool, a 0% leakage deduction with no documented justification, and multiple key parameters (FNRB, usage rate, leakage) that shifted in the direction of claiming more than the original PDD assumed. The absence of a verified ERR figure and the presence of numerous outstanding corrective actions further weaken confidence in the credit claims.

Red Flags

  • Leakage deduction reduced from 5% in the PDD to 0% in the verification report with justification marked as 'not addressed' — a material weakening of the claim
  • FNRB increased from 0.85 (PDD) to 0.97 (verification report) and usage rate from 90% to 95%, all shifting in the direction of higher claimed reductions
  • Total verified ERR is not stated in the extracted record, preventing independent verification of claimed reductions
  • Multiple corrective actions remain open, including demonstration of user-list duplication checks and grievance evidence submission
