Audit Analysis

A Gold Standard improved cookstove sub-project in Eritrea with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reported reversals, but hampered by a long list of material findings and corrective actions, an absent buffer pool, and a project-specific baseline. The verified ERR figure is missing from the extracted record, limiting the ability to confirm over- or under-delivery. Overall a moderate-quality project with meaningful compliance gaps that are being addressed.

Red Flags

  • Eight compliance-level findings (CL#01–CL#08) and five corrective action requests (CAR#01–CAR#05) were raised across verification cycles, with three forward action requests still open as of the July 2024 verification report
  • The verified ERR figure is not present in the extracted record, preventing a direct comparison against the 4,108 tCO₂e claimed for the 2023–2024 monitoring period
  • The FNRB method is contradictory: the 2023 PDD describes a local field measurement while the 2024 verification report records a national default value of 97
