Analysis

A Gold Standard cooking-device project in Malawi with VVB-confirmed additionality and verified usage rates, but weakened by a project-specific baseline, a thin 0% leakage justification, the absence of a stated buffer pool, and a notable discrepancy between the PDD and an earlier monitoring report on total emissions reductions. No verified ERR figure is available for the 2024–2025 monitoring period, limiting the ability to confirm actual delivery against the ex-ante estimate.
