Mount Kenya Regenerative Agroforestry Project

Audit Analysis

The Mount Kenya agroforestry project (VCS-3321) has a solid additionality assessment confirmed by the VVB and a 10% buffer pool with no reported reversals, but the project-specific baseline, 0% leakage deduction, and absence of any monitoring-period data limit confidence in the long-term integrity of the claims. Documentation quality is further weakened by low extraction confidence and the absence of a monitoring report.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Buffer pool percentage contradicts between documents: the validation report states 10% while the PDD states 0.1% — the 0.1% figure is likely a decimal-entry error, but the discrepancy undermines confidence in the PDD's internal consistency.
• ⚠No monitoring report or monitoring period data is available in the extracted record; the project has been registered since December 2022 yet no verified ex-post emissions data can be assessed.
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% with a 'deemed negligible' justification for an agroforestry project where displaced land-use change is a plausible risk; the PDD does not even address leakage.
• ⚠Minimum extraction confidence is rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which reduces reliability of the extracted facts.
