Audit Analysis

The Kilifi Borehole Rehabilitation Project has a documented investment additionality test and stakeholder safeguards, but suffers from a critical over-crediting signal where the claimed ERR (84,658) exceeds the lifetime ex-ante estimate (50,000) by 69%. The absence of a named VVB, a verified ERR figure, and a buffer pool, combined with contradictory leakage justifications across documents, undermines confidence in the project's integrity and claim safety.

Red Flags

  • Claimed ERR of 84,658 (monitoring report, Mar 2020) exceeds the lifetime ex-ante estimate of 50,000 (PDD, Oct 2019) by 69%, indicating a serious over-crediting risk
  • Leakage justification is contradictory: the PDD states leakage was 'quantified' while the monitoring report states it was 'deemed negligible' with a 0% deduction
  • VVB name is not stated in any available document, and additionality verification by the VVB is not confirmed
  • Crediting period is inconsistent: the monitoring report states 2018-12-11 to 2024-03-28 while the PDD states 2014-01-07 to 2028-01-06
