Audit Analysis
The WWF Mamize cook-stove project has a solid additionality foundation (VVB-confirmed investment test) and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but is undermined by the absence of any stated buffer pool or permanence mechanism, a project-specific baseline, and a critical 100-fold discrepancy in the FNRB value between the verification report and the monitoring report. The project delivered roughly 97% of its pro-rata ex-ante expectation for the 2019–2021 monitoring window, which is reasonable, but the data-reliability issues and low extraction confidence across 16 documents limit confidence in the underlying figures.
Red Flags
- FNRB value is reported as 100 in the 2024 verification report but 1.0 in the 2024 monitoring report — a 100-fold discrepancy that, if unresolved, could invalidate the ERR calculation.
- No buffer pool or permanence security mechanism is stated in any available document, despite the inherent reversal risk of cook-stove projects (stove abandonment or replacement with non-efficient units).
- Seven contradictions were identified across documents, including differing crediting-period dates (2011-12-31 to 2021-12-30 in the VR vs 2012-04-05 to 2022-04-04 in the MR) and a usage-rate mismatch (90% in the VR vs 96.7% in the MR).
- Minimum extraction confidence is rated 'low', indicating at least one key document was poorly readable, which reduces reliability of all extracted figures.
