GS7591 VPA 23 Central Mozambique Safe Water Programme

Audit Analysis

The Central Mozambique Safe Water Programme displaces firewood-based water heating through rehabilitated boreholes, with VVB-confirmed additionality and no reversal events. However, a 30,370 tCO2e over-issuance in the first monitoring period, non-compliance with methodology monitoring requirements (flow meter/sensor), and the absence of a stated buffer pool raise material integrity concerns. The project delivered approximately 100% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the elapsed period, but numerous data contradictions and unresolved compliance gaps limit confidence in the credit quality.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Over-issuance of 30,370 tCO2e in MP1 due to incorrect calculation of borehole operating days, requiring deduction in MP3
• ⚠Project in non-compliance with methodology monitoring requirements for parameter SDWS 23 (flow meter/sensor); deviation request not approved; issuance suspended for non-compliance periods
• ⚠Multiple unresolved contradictions across documents including leakage deduction (0% vs 5%), usage rate (95% vs 98%), and crediting period dates
• ⚠13 clarifications and 26 corrective action requests raised and resolved, indicating systemic MRV quality issues
