GS1247 VPA 77 Lango Safe Water Project

Audit Analysis

The Lango Safe Water Project has a verified additionality assessment and no reported reversals, but is undermined by an extensive list of material findings involving calculation errors, missing data, and internal inconsistencies across documents. The 0% leakage deduction is contradicted by the PDD's 5% figure, and a 13-fold discrepancy in claimed ER between the PDD and monitoring report raises serious data-reliability concerns. Overall, the project's integrity and claim safety are weakened by systemic documentation and calculation quality issues.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠13-fold discrepancy in claimed ER: the PDD (June 2023) reports 4,403 tCO₂e while the monitoring report (Feb 2024) reports 60,139 tCO₂e — the basis for this difference is unexplained in the extracted record
• ⚠Leakage deduction of 0% in the verification report contradicts the PDD's 5% deduction; the 'quantified' justification is not supported by a visible quantification in the extracted data
• ⚠Extensive material findings (30+ items) include ER calculation errors for multiple boreholes, incorrect monitoring-period dates, missing GPS coordinates, and inconsistent SDG impact values — indicating systemic MRV quality problems
• ⚠FPIC status is contradictory: the monitoring report (2024) states it was not conducted, while the validation report (Aug 2025) states it was conducted
