Audit Analysis
The Nyagatare Safe Water Project (Gold Standard, Rwanda) presents a combined additionality test and project-specific baseline, but suffers from significant data gaps: VVB confirmation of additionality is absent, no buffer pool or permanence mechanism is stated, and the 0% leakage deduction is contradicted across documents. A major ERR discrepancy (62,570 vs 147,220) within the same document type, combined with the absence of a verified ERR figure and uncompleted 2023 surveys, undermines confidence in the claimed reductions.
Red Flags
- Additionality test (combined) is present but VVB verification is not confirmed in any available document
- 0% leakage deduction with contradictory justification: the 2023 verification report states leakage was 'not addressed' while the 2022 monitoring report describes it as 'quantified'
- Significant ERR discrepancy within the same document type: 62,570 vs 147,220 (both attributed to monitoring reports, 2022)
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism stated; reversal events are not addressed in any document
- Material finding in the 2023 verification report: surveys for 2023 had not been carried out as of the report date (July 2023)
