Audit Analysis

The Safe Water Programme in Nigeria has VVB-confirmed additionality and a project-specific baseline reassessed in 2021, but suffers from significant documentation gaps including six outstanding corrective actions, no buffer pool stated, FPIC not conducted, and no verified emissions reduction data available. The monitoring period precedes the crediting period, and the leakage justification of 'deemed negligible' is thin for a community water infrastructure project where reversion to old water sources is a realistic risk.

Red Flags

  • Six corrective actions remain open at validation, including clarification of baseline parameters, fNRB calculation basis, and safeguarding assessment completeness
  • FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent) was not conducted for a community water project in Nigeria
  • Monitoring period (Jul 2022 – Dec 2023) entirely precedes the crediting period (Aug 2024 – Oct 2029), so no verified ERR exists for the crediting window
  • Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' without quantified analysis for a project where users may revert to unsafe water sources
