Audit Analysis
The Safe Water Programme in Nigeria is a Gold Standard project in its early validation phase with a confirmed combined additionality test and a locally measured fNRB, but it carries notable concerns: a project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction justified only as 'deemed negligible,' no FPIC conducted, and six outstanding corrective actions from the validation body. No verified emission reductions exist yet, so over- or under-delivery cannot be assessed.
Red Flags
- Six corrective actions remain open from the validation report, including clarification of baseline parameters, fNRB calculation basis, and safeguarding assessment gaps
- FPIC was not conducted despite the project serving vulnerable communities in Nigeria
- Leakage deduction is 0% with only a 'deemed negligible' justification and no quantified analysis
- No verified emission reduction data exists; the project has not yet produced a monitoring report
