The Mai Ndombe REDD+ Project
#11of 66 in Soil carbon#259of 629 in Verra (VCS)
Audit Analysis
The project shows several positive controls: a VVB-confirmed investment additionality test, a jurisdictional baseline in recent documents, FPIC and a grievance mechanism, and no material findings. However, multiple contradictions across key fields (buffer pool size, baseline type, reversal treatment, and verified ERR) and some missing quantified inputs reduce confidence and increase risk of over-crediting.
Red Flags
- Conflicting total verified emissions removal figures (3,398,286 vs 10,773,562) across validation reports
- Inconsistent buffer pool percentage reported (25% vs 16%) and contradictory treatment of reversals
- Leakage justification contradictory within monitoring documents (both 'quantified' and 'not addressed')
