IMPROVED COOK STOVE PROGRAMME IN FIJI – CPA02

Audit Analysis
The Fiji cookstove project (VCS-2656) shows a well-structured VCS ALM registration with VVB-confirmed additionality, a recently reassessed project-specific baseline (2024), and a 5% quantified leakage deduction. The verified ERR of 405,596 tCO₂e for the 2021–2023 monitoring period aligns closely with the pro-rata expectation derived from the PDD lifetime estimate, indicating no material over-crediting. However, several internal contradictions (leakage 0% vs 5% in the same monitoring report, FPIC status, fnrb unit inconsistency) and the absence of a stated buffer pool or CORSIA/CCP eligibility determination temper confidence.
Red Flags
- Leakage deduction is simultaneously reported as 5% and 0% within the same monitoring report (2025-04-25), creating ambiguity about the actual deduction applied
- FPIC is confirmed as conducted in the 2023 verification report but reported as not conducted in the 2025 monitoring report — a direct contradiction on a fundamental safeguard
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any extracted document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
