VALIDATION OPINION
Carbon Check has performed the validation of the component project activity (CPA) in Kenya
requesting inclusion in the PoA “PoA for the reduction of emission from non-renewable fuel from
cooking at household level”. The validation was performed on the basis of the eligibility criteria
for including CPAs as stated in the registered PoA-DD, version 13 of 14/12/ 2013 /B04/ and
relevant UNFCCC criteria for the inclusion of CPAs into a PoA.
The validation was undertaken (by means of a document review, background investigation and
interviews with relevant stakeholders). The validation team of CCL considers that the CPA
description of the CPA titled- “CPA-KE-009 KENYA” included in CDM-SSC-CPA-DD /02/ is
accurate and complete and meets the requirements to be included in the PoA titled “PoA for the
reduction of emission from non-renewable fuel from cooking at household level”/B04/, and
correctly applies the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-I.E. (version 04)/B02/.
Standard auditing techniques have been used for the validation of the CPA. The CPA replaces
non-renewable biomass with renewable fuel for cooking in participating households. The
technologies included in the programme are ethanol and biogas stoves and water purification
systems. The PoA results in reductions of CO2 emissions that are real, measurable and provide
long term benefits to the mitigation of climate change. An analysis, as provided by the applied
methodology, demonstrates that the proposed CPA is not a likely baseline scenario. Emission
reductions attributable to the CPA are additional to any that would occur in the absence of the
CPA. Given that the CPA is to be implemented as designed, the project is likely to achieve the
estimated amount of emission reductions as specified within the CPA-DD/02/.
The annual average emission reductions of the CPA are estimated to be 103777 tCO2e per
year over the selected crediting period. The estimated emission reductions have been cross
checked and are deemed likely given that the underlying assumptions do not change. The
monitoring plan provides for the monitoring of the CPA’s emission reductions. The monitoring
arrangements as described are feasible with the CPA design and Carbon Check are of the
opinion that the CME and CPA implementer are able to implement the monitoring plan.
The validation is based on the information made available to Carbon Check (Pty) Ltd., as well
as the engagement conditions detailed in this report. The validation has been performed
following the VVS requirements.
The validation was executed in the following phases:
 Receipt of CPA-DD /01/ from the CME
 Issuance of the DVR with corrective action requests (CARs) and clarification requests
(CLs)
 Desk review of revised CPA-DD applying AMS-I.E. (version 04) and eligibility criteria as
stated in the registered PoA –DD.
 Review of responses for CARs/CLs
 Issuance of the final validation report (FVR)
The validation describes a total of 05 (Five) findings which include:

 02 (Two) Corrective Action Requests (CARs);
 01 (One) Clarification Requests (CLs);
 02 (Two) Forward Action Requests (FARs);
st
All findings have been closed satisfactorily and FAR(s) shall be checked during the 1 periodic
verification of the CPA.
The review of the CPA-DD/02/, subsequent follow-up interviews, and further verification of
references/evidences have provided Carbon Check (Pty) Ltd., with sufficient evidence to
determine the fulfilment of stated criteria in the registered PoA-DD /B04/. Hence, Carbon Check
is of the opinion that the CPA meets all relevant UNFCCC requirements for CDM provided that
the underlying assumptions do not change. Carbon Check (Pty) Ltd., thus recommends the
CPA for inclusion in the registered PoA.

1. INTRODUCTION
Green Development AS (hereafter referred to as “the CME”) has commissioned CCL to perform
the validation of the proposed small scale CPA in Kenya requesting to be included in the PoA.
Carbon Check was commissioned to assess the information in the CDM-SSC-CPA-DD for the
CPA titled “CPA-KE-009 KENYA” (hereafter called “the CPA”) against the requirements for
including CPAs to the registered PoA “PoA for the reduction of emission from non-renewable
fuel from cooking at household level” and further documentation requirements for including
CPAs to a PoA.
This report summarizes the findings of the validation of the small-scale component Project
Activity Design Document (CDM-SSC-CPA-DD), performed on the basis of UNFCCC criteria for
the CDM, as well as criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and
reporting and eligibility criteria for inclusion of the CPA as established in the registered PoA
/B04/. The term “UNFCCC criteria” refers to Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, the CDM
modalities and procedures and the simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM
project and the subsequent decisions by the COP/MOP and CDM Executive Board. In addition
to these criteria, host country criteria are also taken into account.
1.1 Objective
The assessment of a CPA requesting to be included in a registered PoA shall ensure that all the
requirements (as defined in the form of eligibility criteria) determined in the PoA are met. The
assessment was performed on the basis of the eligibility and additionality criteria established in
the PoA and the UNFCCC criteria for including CPAs to a Programme of Activities (PoA) under
the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), as well as criteria given to provide for consistent
project operations, monitoring and reporting according to AMS I. E., version 04.
1.2 Scope
The validation scope is defined as an independent and objective review by a Designated
Operational Entity (DOE) of the CPA-DD to be included in the registered PoA. The DOE shall
scrutinize the information in the CPA-DD to assess compliance with the eligibility criteria and
criteria for demonstrating additionality established by the PoA, to confirm the accurate
application of AMS I.E., version 04 and to check the compliance with documentation
requirements for CPAs and relevant UNFCCC criteria for including CPAs into PoAs.
The validation is not meant to provide any consulting towards the programme participants.
However, stated requests for clarifications and/or corrective actions may have provided input for
improvement of the component project design.
2. METHODOLOGY
The validation consists of the following three phases:
1. A desk review of the CDM-SSC-CPA-DD and supporting evidences;

2. On-site visit and follow-up interviews with relevant project stakeholders
3. The resolution of outstanding issues and the issuance of the final validation report and
opinion.
The following sections outline each step in detail.

2.3 Resolution of outstanding issues
The CPA assessment is based on the “Clean Development Mechanism Validation and
Verification Standard” version 06/B01-1/ in particular §185, §187, §188, §204, § 21 Annex 5 of
EB 74/B03-3/ and §156 of project cycle procedure version 06/B01-3/ and is conducted using
standard auditing techniques to assess the correctness of the information provided by the
CME/project participant(s) and/or CPA implementer(s).
Before the assessment begins, members of the validation team covering the technical scope(s),
sectoral scope(s) and relevant host country/region experience for evaluating the CDM CPA are
appointed in line with applicable UNFCCC and CCL requirements. Once the CPA documents
are made available, members of the team carry out the desk review, follow-up actions,
resolution of issues identified, and the preparation of the validation report. The prepared
validation report including the validation findings underwent a technical review. The technical
review was performed by a technical reviewer qualified in accordance with UNFCCC
requirements and Carbon Check (Pty) Ltd’s qualification scheme for CDM validation and
verification.
In order to ensure transparency the criteria (requirements, means of validation and the results
from validating the identified criteria) were validated and findings raised are listed in the findings
table as depicted below. All assumptions are clearly stated and background material
referenced.
Findings established during the validation could either be seen as a non-fulfilment of CDM
criteria or where a risk to the fulfilment of programme objectives is identified.
Corrective action requests (CAR) are issued, where:
(i) The project participants have made mistakes that will influence the ability of the project
activity to achieve real, measurable additional emission reductions;
(ii) The CDM requirements have not been met;
(iii) There is a risk that emission reductions cannot be monitored or calculated.

11
A request for clarification (CL) may be raised if information is insufficient or not clear enough
to determine whether the applicable CDM requirements have been met.
A forward action request (FAR) may be raised during validation to highlight issues related to
project implementation that require review during the first verification of the project activity.

interviews with stakeholders, the validation team of CCL considers that the CPA titled “CPA-KE-
009 KENYA”, as described in the CDM-SSC-CPA-DD /02/ is accurate and complete; meets the
requirements to be included in the registered PoA titled “PoA for the reduction of emission from
non-renewable fuel from cooking at household level” /B04/ (UNFCCC UNPA Ref No : 7359) and
correctly applies the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS I.E, version 04 /B02/. 01
clarification, 02 corrective actions and 02 forward action requests had been raised during the
course of validation and have been closed (please refer appendix A for the detailed closure.
In summary the CPA “CPA-KE-009 KENYA” in Kenya, as described in the CPA-DD, version 08
of 14/04/2014:
 meets the eligibility criteria established in the PoA “PoA for the reduction of emission
from non-renewable fuel from cooking at household level”, as described in the PoA-DD,
version 13 /B04/ of 14/12/2013;
 meets relevant UNFCCC requirements for including CPAs in a PoA; and
 correctly applies the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-I.E, version 04 /B02/.
Hence, the CPA “CPA-KE-009 KENYA” in Kenya meets the requirements for inclusion to the
PoA titled “PoA for the reduction of emission from non-renewable fuel from cooking at
household level”.
3.1 CPA Description

The following description of the proposed component project activity as per CPA-DD /02/ is
verified:
The CPA titled “CPA-KE-009 KENYA” is developed under the Small-Scale Programme of
Activities (PoA) titled “PoA for the reduction of emission from non-renewable fuel from cooking
at household level”, which is coordinated and managed by Green Development AS. The CPAs
of the PoA /B04/ involves sale or lease of equipment to replace the use of non-renewable
woody biomass with renewable fuels (biogas and/or denatured alcohol). Based on the review of
CPA-DD /02/, the validation team has verified that the proposed CPA involves the installation of
the following technologies (solutions):
 Biogas stoves (with a thermal output of not more than 10 kW and thermal efficiency of
no less than 50%)- shall be implemented where biogas sources are available and/or
 Ethanol stoves (with a thermal output of not more than 10 kW and thermal efficiency of
no less than 50%) - shall be implemented where ethanol sources are available and/or
 Household water purification systems; membrane-based system which uses no energy
and relies on gravity based technology and/or
 Community based water purification systems (shall be powered by renewable energy)
using filtering technology where households can buy clean drinking water from a water
station.
Both the water purification solutions shall provide water that meets applicable national
microbiological water quality standards / Guidelines or WHO‟s interim performance target on
household’s water treatment. Any pumps to be used in the process of purifying water will use
renewable energy.
The CPA implementer is Green Development AS /02/. As confirmed by reviewing the CPA- DD
/02/ and interviews with the representative of CME /I-02/, it is confirmed that the CME shall be
responsible for the implementation of the proposed CPA. As the CPA implementation will take
place, partners will/may take on the role of LPIPs or other LPIPs will be engaged to take
responsibility for implementation, this has been confirmed during the interview with the CME.
An email confirmation has also been provided by the CME to confirm the same/24/. The

manual of the PoA /19/ confirms that for each country of the PoA (in the present case Kenya)
the Country Manager is employed, and the Country Manager /B04-3/ /I-02/ shall oversee the
Reporting and Data Recording Department (RDRD), Survey, Data Collection Department
(SDCD), Equipment Supply and Logistics Department (ESLD), CPA Partnership and Relations
Department (CPRD), Technical Support and Training Department(TSTD) and Energy Supply
Department(ESD) for each country. Responsibility for quality control of surveyed data, data
processing, and emissions reductions is with the PoA Country Manager /I-02/, this is confirmed
by interviewing the CME representative /I-01/. The CME/PoA manager shall be responsible to
perform quality control activities for the proposed CPA and the same has been checked and
confirmed by reviewing the CME management system manual /19/. The implementation
schedule has been provided in the ER sheet/04/. Implementation of this proposed CPA had not
started till the preparation of this validation report and the expected start date of the CPA is
01/05/2014. CL 01 had been raised in this regard and has been closed (please refer appendix A
for the detailed closure. The implementation schedule/04/ for the CPA is:
Year Number of Participating Households

Year 1 5000
Year 2 7000
Year 3 8000
Year 4 9000
Year 5 10000
Year 6 11000
Year 7 12000
In the context of the review of the project implementation, FAR-01 has been raised and shall be
checked during first periodic verification. Hence the physical on-site visit was not conducted
during the course of validation of this proposed CPA. Nevertheless, a telephonic interview/I-04/
was conducted with the organization undertaking the survey to confirm with the baseline survey
responses and local stakeholder consultation. The baseline survey was cross-checked through
the interviews/I-03/ with baseline survey participants. It was confirmed that the comments were
invited from the local stakeholders. This was further compared with the local stakeholder
consultation report/10-a/. Local Stakeholder consultation has been conducted at national level
for Kenya. The environment assessment has been done at national level for Kenya/10-b/. A
confirmation has been provided through a third party study that there are no mandatory or legal
requirements in Kenya for implementation of stoves or purification systems/15/. Hence
paragraph § 65, 66 and 67 of VVS version 06 /B01/ has been complied with.
Baseline survey has been conducted for the CPA to find the ex-ante parameters and confirm
the baseline conditions stated in the methodology AMS-I.E., version 04/B02/. Validation team
confirms that the baseline survey meets the requirements for baseline survey
representativeness, sample size and data collected.
The validation team based on the review of the unique identification number of the CPA
confirms that there is no double counting of emission reductions due to the
implementation/inclusion of the CPA, as this CPA does not belong to or included in any other
PoA or stand -alone CDM project or part of other CPA in the same PoA. The validation team
has cross checked this from the UNFCCC website /B07/ and further compared with the
declaration from CME/11/ and interviews /I-01/ and confirms that there is no other similar PoA
or CDM project occurring in the CPA area and the CPA is neither registered as an individual
CDM project activity nor is part of another Registered PoA. Furthermore the validation team
based on the review of the CME Management system manual /19/ confirms that in order to
avoid double counting, the CME has adopted a provision of a record keeping system. The
record keeping system for the proposed CPA under the PoA includes detailed sales information
collected from each H/H in the form of an end user contract /06/ (template part of management
system manual /19/). Review of this end user contract /06/ (in the form of a sales contract and
/or lease contract to be used for proposed CPAs) reveals that it includes the name of the
customer, address, telephone number, CPA area, date of sale/lease, sales information, and the
retailer’s name (supplier of solution). The information from the written sales/lease contracts /06/

14
shall be entered by the CPA implementer into a database where a unique identification number
for each individual H/H shall be assigned /19/. This identification number /19/ of H/H consists of
the country code, CPA number within the country and a unique ID number for each participating
household and then recorded on the sales contract. The unique number consists of the country
code, CPA code and region name matching the unique CPA numbering system plus a
participating household identification number. The sales/lease contracts consist of a provision
/19/ for signature by the participating household and clearly indicate that the equipment supplied
is part of the proposed CPA. This unique id shall allow future cross-checking to avoid any
double counting of H/H participating in the CPA and thus shall ensure no double counting of
emission reductions. CAR 04 had been raised with regard to the unique ID for the households
and has been closed (please refer appendix A for the detailed closure). Sample unique IDs from
the PoA have also been provided as evidence in the monitoring database/26/. Furthermore, the
end user contract /06/ contains a provision that the carbon credits generated from the solutions
belong to the CME and also a confirmation that the participating H/H is not part of any other
program in which carbon credits are generated from the same solutions as implemented in the
proposed CPA.
Review of Management system manual of the PoA /19/ reveals that the CME (and CPA
implementer of the proposed CPA) i.e. Green Development AS is the entity responsible for
identifying training, enrolling and managing partners implementing SSC-CPAs according to the
PoA criteria. CME has a system in place with partners that clearly state that the proposed CPA
subscribes to this PoA.
The CPA will result in average emission reductions of 103777 tCO2e per annum /02/, /04/.
Emission reduction calculation has been done as per the applied methodology AMS I.E. ver 04
/B02/.
Based on the information furnished /02/ by the CME/CPA implementer, no ODA contributes to
the financing of the CPA.
No external funding has been secured for the CPA; the CPA will be funded by the LPIPs and
the end users who will buy the stoves/24/.
The validation team has checked that the CPA is not a de-bundled component of large scale
project or PoA in line with Annex 13, EB 54 /B06-6/ and the same has been
described/demonstrated in the CPA-DD /02/, checked and confirmed by the validation team.
In conclusion, CCL confirms that the CPA’s project description is sufficiently accurate and
complete in order to comply with the requirements of the PoA.
3.2 CPA Boundary

The CPA geographical boundary is assessed based on documented evidence /02/, /B02/, /B04/
and interviews. The validation team confirms that the identified boundary, the selected sources,
and gases as documented in the CPA-DD /02/ are justified; hence all sources and GHGs
required by the applied methodology /B02/ have been included within the project boundary. The
validation team based on the review of the registered PoA-DD /B04/ and CPA-DD/ 02/ further
confirms that any energy (to run the connected load i.e. Pump) required by the community water
purification system shall be based on the renewable energy i.e. Denatured alcohol only and
hence there is no project emission on the account of these connected loads. Further review of
PoA-DD /B04/ and CPA DD /02/ confirms that the proposed CPA will include one or several of
the technologies as defined in the PoA depending on the local conditions. Each household may
use a single solution or a combination of solutions depending on its needs and local conditions.

15
There will be no cross over effects between the various solutions as all solutions only contribute
with their part to the reduction of non-renewable woody biomass.
The geographical boundaries are clearly included in the CPA-DD, as well as all GHG sources
associated with the CPA. According to the methodology AMS I.E version 04 /B02/, the project
boundary is the physical and geographical site of the use of the biomass or renewable energy.
In the case of proposed CPA, water purification system (H/H and/or community) and stoves
(biogas and ethanol) producing renewable energy in targeted areas of Kenya, and hence in line
with the applied methodology/B02/.
3.3 Eligibility Criteria

All the eligibility criteria required for the inclusion of the CPA under the PoA have been
addressed in the CPA-DD /02/. The eligibility criteria for the CPA has been assessed in
accordance with § 204 of the VVS, version 06/B01-1/, § 21 of EB 74 Annex 5 /B03-3/ and § 156
of the PCP, version 06/B01-3/. The stated confirmation against each eligibility criteria has been

development for personnel /19/, Records and documentation control process /19/, Measures for
continual improvements of the PoA management /19/.
In conclusion, CCL confirms that the CPA complies with the eligibility criteria requirements of
the PoA /B04/.
3.4 Additionality
3.4.1 Approach for demonstrating CPA additionality

Validation team confirms that since the CPA meets the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the PoA
therefore deemed additional. Additionality of the CPA is one of the eligibility criteria; please refer
to eligibility criteria 6 in Section 3.3 of this report.
3.5 Emission Reduction

Parameters determined ex-ante
Ex-ante parameters provided under section D.6.2 of the CPA DD /02/ is found deemed
appropriate and in line with the applied methodology AMS I.E version 04/B02/. Ex-ante
parameters of this proposed CPA are as follows:
1
Every project component, that is every project participating household, shall be exclusive to one CPA. When the small
scale threshold of 45 MW is reached, a new CPA might be registered which might include the same
geographical area as a previously registered CPA, but the project participant shall ensure that each project
participating household is only part of one CPA so as to avoid double counting.

Ex-ante fixed parameter presented in the table above, along with the source of the values were
verified and were found as the values/ default values either from applied methodology or CDM
EB or IPCC or other sources for e.g. baseline survey, lab test report and found appropriate or
conservative and hence acceptable to the validation team.
3.5.2 Emission Reduction calculations
The equations and choices provided in the methodology are correctly quoted in the CPA-DD
/02/. The emission reductions of the CPAs of the PoA would be calculated using the formulae
mentioned in the applied methodology AMS.I .E / Version 04 /B02/.
GHG emission reduction (ER) calculation is carried out based on the applied methodology
AMS-I.E, version 04 /B02/. The parameters and equations presented in the registered PoA-DD
/B04/, CPA-DD /02/ and ER spreadsheet /04/ have been compared with the information and
requirements presented in the methodology/B02/. Validation team based on the review of CPA-
DD /02/, confirms that the formulae are correctly presented for the determination of emission
reductions at CPA level. An equation comparison has also been made to ensure consistency
between all the formulae presented in the PoA-DD /B04-1/, emission reduction spread sheet
/04/, and the applied methodology AMS.I.E, version 04 /B02/. As stated in the CPA-DD/02/ no
equipment currently being utilized is to be transferred to the project boundary, no such leakage
applies due to “equipment currently being utilised is transferred from outside the boundary to
the project boundary” in line with § 11 of methodology. The validation team confirmed during
interviews with the CME, that the proposed CPA shall utilize all new equipment and hence this
leakage source is not applicable. Furthermore the validation team confirmed with the CME that
any equipment currently being utilized shall be excluded from the project boundary.
3.6 Monitoring Plan

The monitoring plan presented in the CPA-DD /02/ complies with the requirements of the PoA -
DD /B04/, the applied monitoring methodology /B02/. The validation team of CCL has verified all
parameters in the monitoring plan against the requirements of the methodology and no
deviations have been found.

33
The procedures have been reviewed by the validation team through a document review and
interviews with the relevant stakeholders. The information provided has allowed the validation
team to confirm that the proposed monitoring plan is feasible within the project design. The
relevant points of monitoring plan have been discussed with the PoA managing entity / CPA
implementer.
The parameters that are to be monitored ex-post are:

CAR 01 and CAR 02 had been raised for the parameters and have been closed (please refer
appendix A for the detailed closure. As verified from the CPA-DD /02/, all monitored data shall
be kept for the duration of the program plus two years and will be stored by the Recording and
Data Department. Statistical sound sampling has been adopted and sampling plan design has
been described transparently in the CPA-DD /02/. Stratified random sampling approach has
been adopted. The sampling size is determined with minimum 90% confidence interval and
maximum 10% error margin. The minimum sample size is in accordance with the methodology
requirements. In case the verification is done for a group of CPAs then sampling shall be
undertaken with 95% confidence interval and maximum 10% error margin.
In summary, the parameters determined ex-post have been presented correctly according to
requirements are considered in accordance with the applied methodology /B02/.
The responsibilities and institutional arrangements for data collection and archiving have been
clearly provided. The information provided in the CPA-DD /02/ could be confirmed based on the
interviews and also through the submitted documentary evidence – monitoring Manual /19/
covering all requirements as stated in PoA-DD /B04/.
Based on above assessment, it can be confirmed that the CME and the CPA implementer will
be able to implement the monitoring plan and the achieved emission reductions can be reported
ex-post and verified.
3.7 Stakeholder Consultation

Stakeholders have been invited to comment on the program on a national level for Kenya. This
is in accordance with the PoA-DD /B04/, where it is stated that the first CPA in each country
might conduct a stakeholder consultation at a national level. The stakeholder consultation was
conducted on 20/02/2013 in Nairobi, Kenya. The stakeholders were also sent the presentation
and feedback on the stakeholder consultation. Documents for LSC /10-a/ are checked and
found acceptable to the validation team of CCL. Validation team confirms that since already
included CPA/B04-8/ of PoA was also from Kenya (i.e. the same host country where the
proposed CPA is based), the stakeholder consultation for the Kenya (national) level was already
validated at the time of inclusion of other CPA/B04-8/. Nonetheless, documents for LSC /10-a/
is checked and found acceptable to the validation team of CCL. Interviews were also conducted
with local stakeholders/I-03/. Please also refer to the assessment of eligibility criteria 7 in
section 3.3 of this validation report.
3.8 Environmental Analysis

National Environmental Impact Assessment Study was carried out at a national level and
approved by DNA. A national environmental Impact Assessment Study may be carried out at a
national level for the first CPA in each country in accordance with the PoA-DD /B04/. Validation

35
team confirms that since confirms that since already included CPA/B04-8/ of PoA was also from
Kenya (i.e. the same host country where the proposed CPA is based), the Environmental
Impact Assessment Study for Kenya (national) level was already validated at the time of
inclusion of other CPA/B04-8/. Nonetheless, documents for EIA at national level /10-a/ is
checked and found acceptable to the validation team of CCL. Please also refer to the
assessment of eligibility criteria 7 in section 3.3 of this validation report.
