Audit Analysis
A Gold Standard safe drinking water project in Nigeria with VVB-verified combined additionality, but significant gaps in permanence safeguards (no buffer pool stated), a thin 0% leakage justification, and six unresolved corrective actions from the validation phase. The project is in early crediting with no verified emission reductions yet, and FPIC was not conducted despite the community-facing nature of the intervention.
Red Flags
- Six corrective actions remain open from the validation report, including justification of the fNRB calculation method and clarification of baseline data sources
- FPIC was not conducted for a community water supply project, and the safeguarding principles assessment was flagged as incomplete (CAR#01)
- Leakage deduction of 0% justified only as 'deemed negligible' without quantified analysis, despite the project distributing water infrastructure to end users
