Analysis

A Gold Standard improved cook stove project in Bangladesh with VVB-confirmed additionality and documented safeguards, but undermined by a project-specific baseline, absence of a buffer pool, a very low 0.95% leakage deduction, and an extensive list of data-quality findings and corrective actions across the monitoring and verification records. The ERR figures contain internal contradictions that make it difficult to confirm the project is delivering within its ex-ante expectations.
