Analysis

The EcoZoom Improved Stove Programme in Uganda is a Gold Standard cookstove project with a combined additionality test and a project-specific baseline reassessed in 2024, but it is undermined by a 0% leakage deduction justified only as 'deemed negligible' (contradicted by the PDD's 5% quantified figure), the absence of a buffer pool, and a Kitchen Performance Test that was not conducted in the current monitoring period. Eleven cross-document contradictions—including conflicting additionality verification status, fNRB methodology, and ERR figures—erode confidence in the data. The extensive list of corrective actions and further-assessment-required items signals ongoing documentation and methodology-compliance gaps.
