Analysis

The Lango Safe Water Project is a Gold Standard borehole-based safe water project in Uganda with VVB-verified additionality and documented safeguards, but it is undermined by a severe fNRB value discrepancy (0.0004 vs 0.81 across verification reports), a 0% leakage deduction with no justification, significant operational degradation (72% borehole operationality, multiple water-quality failures), and an extensive backlog of open corrective and follow-up actions. The project's credit claims rest on a project-specific baseline and an assumed usage rate (99.5%) that substantially exceeds the verified rate (87.5%), creating meaningful over-crediting risk.
