Audit Analysis
The Kakamega Stove Project is a Gold Standard cook-stove efficiency project in Kenya with a project-specific baseline and a 'deemed negligible' leakage claim, but critical verification details (additionality test type, VVB identity, verified ERR) are absent from the extracted record. The low extraction confidence and limited monitoring coverage (single 2017 period) weaken confidence in the project's MRV chain. No material findings or corrective actions were reported, and the verified usage rate (99%) exceeded the conservative assumption (88%), which is a positive signal.
Red Flags
- Additionality test type and VVB verification status are not stated in any available document, leaving the additionality claim unconfirmed in the extracted record
- Leakage is only 'deemed negligible' with no quantified deduction or explicit justification in the monitoring report, which is a weak treatment for a cook-stove project where substitution and market uptake are plausible
- Total verified ERR is not found in the extracted record, preventing any pro-rata comparison against the 27,722 tCO₂e lifetime ex-ante estimate
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated low, indicating at least one key document was poorly readable and the extracted facts may be incomplete
