Analysis

A Gold Standard agroforestry-dairy project in Kenya with a VVB-verified combined additionality test and a 25% buffer pool, but undermined by a significant discrepancy in lifetime ERR between the PDD (1.16 MtCO₂e) and the monitoring report (354 ktCO₂e), a contradictory baseline method description, and a 0% leakage deduction that is difficult to justify for a soil-carbon project. Operational disruptions (COVID-19, FMD outbreak, elections) and multiple corrective actions signal ongoing implementation fragility.
