Analysis

The Kasigau Corridor Phase II project has fundamental structural safeguards (13% buffer pool, no reversals, VVB-confirmed additionality) but is undermined by an extraordinary volume of material findings, calculation errors, community grievances including sexual offenses, and multiple data contradictions across documents. The project delivered only ~8.6% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 12-year monitoring period, and an over-issuance of 83,175 VCUs was identified and corrected. The low extraction confidence and extensive corrective actions required significantly reduce confidence in the data integrity.
