Audit Analysis
The Kilifi Borehole Rehabilitation Project has a reasonable safeguards framework (FPIC, grievance mechanism, benefit sharing) and no material findings, but suffers from a critical over-crediting signal: the monitoring report claims 84,658 credits against an ex-ante lifetime estimate of only 50,000. The project-specific baseline, unconfirmed VVB, and contradictory leakage justifications further weaken confidence in the integrity and claim safety of the credits.
Red Flags
- Claimed ERR of 84,658 (monitoring report, 2020) exceeds the ex-ante lifetime estimate of 50,000 (PDD) by 69%, indicating potential over-crediting
- Crediting period is stated as 2014–2028 in the PDD but 2018–2024 in the monitoring report, a fundamental inconsistency in project scope
- VVB name is not identified in any available document, leaving additionality verification unconfirmed
- Leakage justification is contradictory: the PDD describes it as 'quantified' while the monitoring report states it was 'deemed negligible' with a 0% deduction
