Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard cookstove project in Burkina Faso with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but undermined by 15+ outstanding corrective actions, material findings on household traceability and insecurity-affected sampling, and the absence of a verified ERR figure. The project-specific baseline and unaddressed permanence/reversal treatment further weaken the integrity profile.
Red Flags
- 15+ corrective actions (CL#1–3, CAR#1–11, mandatory Objective Observer visit) remain open per the May 2024 verification report, indicating unresolved data-quality and traceability issues
- 55 sampled households could not be visited due to insecurity and were assigned 0% usage rate, introducing a systematic downward bias in the 2022 monitoring data
- Total verified ERR is not stated in any available document, preventing independent confirmation of claimed reductions
- Reversal/permanence risk is explicitly 'not addressed' and no buffer pool percentage is reported
