Audit Analysis

The Up Energy Improved Cookstove Programme (Uganda) has a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but suffers from significant data inconsistencies between the monitoring report and verification report, a notable gap between assumed (100%) and verified (82.5%) usage rates, and the absence of any stated buffer pool or permanence mechanism for a cookstove project where stove failure and user reversion are material risks. The 19 corrective action requests raised during verification, while all closed, point to recurring data-quality weaknesses in the project's reporting.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠ERR figure in the monitoring report (209,813 tCO2e) is less than half the figure verified in the verification report (440,618 tCO2e) for the same monitoring period, indicating a major internal inconsistency
• ⚠No buffer pool or permanence mechanism is stated in any available document for a cookstove project where stove breakage and user reversion to traditional cooking are well-known reversal risks
• ⚠19 Corrective Action Requests were raised during verification (all closed), including mismatches between ICS distribution numbers in the MR and the project database, and a crediting-period duration inconsistency (15 years in VPA-DDs vs 5 years in the MR)
• ⚠Usage rate assumed at 100% in the project design versus 82.54% verified by the VVB — a 17.5 percentage-point gap that, if not properly reflected in credit issuance, would overstate reductions
