Safe Water Programme – Nigeria - VPA 100

Audit Analysis
A new Gold Standard safe water and cookstove VPA project in Nigeria with VVB-confirmed additionality but a project-specific baseline, no buffer pool, and FPIC not conducted. Six corrective actions and three material findings in the validation report indicate unresolved documentation gaps. No verified emissions reductions exist yet as the crediting period has only just begun.
Red Flags
- FPIC was not conducted for a community-level safe water programme in Nigeria, and a corrective action requires updating the safeguarding principles assessment
- Six corrective actions remain open, including clarification of baseline parameters, usage assumptions, and justification for the FNRB calculation method
- No buffer pool percentage is stated and no permanence or reversal data is available for the water infrastructure assets
- Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification, without quantified analysis for a distributed community water system
