Audit Analysis
The Kilifi Borehole Rehabilitation Project has documented safeguards, FPIC, and a grievance mechanism, but suffers from a critical over-crediting concern: total claimed credits (84,658) exceed the lifetime ex-ante estimate (50,000) by 69%. Multiple contradictions between the PDD and monitoring report on leakage treatment, crediting period, and additionality test type undermine data reliability. The project-specific baseline and absence of a confirmed buffer pool further weaken the integrity profile.
Red Flags
- Total claimed credits (84,658 per monitoring report, 2020-03) exceed the lifetime ex-ante estimate (50,000 per PDD) by 69%, indicating potential over-crediting beyond the project's design capacity
- Crediting period is stated as 2018–2024 in the monitoring report but 2014–2028 in the PDD — a 9-year discrepancy that fundamentally changes the pro-rata credit expectation
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the PDD (2019-10) describes leakage as 'quantified' while the monitoring report (2020-03) states it was 'deemed negligible' with a 0% deduction
