INTRODUCTION Improved Cook Stoves for East Africa (ICSEA) Limited has commissioed the Carbo Check (Pty) Ltd. to perform a idepedet verificatio of the CDM Programme of Activity Improved Cook Stoves for East Africa (hereafter referred to as Programme of Activity or PoA ) for CPA titled Iteratioal Lifelie Fud Ugada CPA 1 (ILFUg1). This report summarises the fidigs of the verificatio of the project, performed o the basis of Gold Stadard requiremets ad toolkit ad paragraph 62 of the CDM M & P, as well as criteria give to provide for cosistet project operatios, moitorig ad reportig ad the subsequet decisios by the CDM Executive Board ad Gold Stadard Secretariat. Verificatio is required for all registered GS project activities itedig to cofirm their achieved emissio reductios ad proceed with request for issuace of CERs. This report cotais the fidigs ad resolutios from the verificatio ad a certificatio statemet for the certified emissio reductios. 1.1 Objective Verificatio is the periodic idepedet review ad ex post determiatio of both quatitative ad qualitative iformatio by a Desigated Operatioal Etity (DOE) of the moitored reductios i GHG emissios that have occurred as a result of the registered CDM project activity durig a defied moitorig period. Certificatio is the writte assurace by a DOE that, durig a specific period i time, a project activity achieved the emissio reductios as verified. The objective of this verificatio was to verify ad certify emissio reductios reported for the Iteratioal Lifelie Fud Ugada CPA-1 (ILFUg1)i Republic of Ugada for the period 15/09/2012 to 14/03/2013. The purpose of verificatio is to review the moitorig results ad verify that the moitorig methodology was implemeted accordig to the moitorig pla ad moitorig data, ad used to cofirm the reductios i athropogeic emissios by sources, is sufficiet, defiitive ad preseted i a cocise ad trasparet maer. Carbo Check s objective is to perform a thorough, idepedet assessmet of the registered programme of activities. I particular, the moitorig pla, moitorig report ad the project s compliace with relevat UNFCCC ad host Party criteria are verified i order to cofirm that the compoet project/s has/have bee implemeted i accordace with the previously registered/icluded compoet project desig ad coservative assumptios, as documeted. It is also cofirmed if the moitorig pla is i compliace with the registered POA-DD & CPA DD /B05/ ad approved moitorig methodology. 1.2 Scope The scope of the verificatio is: To verify the project implemetatio ad operatio with respect to the registered POA-DD /B05/ CPA-DD /B05/ & GS CPA Passport /B05/ To verify the implemeted moitorig pla with the registered POA-DD /B05/ CPA-DD /B05/ & GS CPA Passport /B05/ ad applied baselie ad moitorig methodology./b03/ To verify that the actual moitorig systems ad procedures are i compliace with the moitorig systems ad procedures described i the moitorig pla. To evaluate the GHG emissio reductio data ad express a coclusio with a reasoable level of assurace about whether the reported GHG emissio reductio data is free from material misstatemet. To verify that reported GHG emissio data ad other o-ghg parameters as per the requiremet of GS is sufficietly supported by evidece. FM 4.9 Verificatio Report Template GS N CCL177/ICSEA/ , Rev.03 7

8 Carbo Check s scope of verificatio as a third party verifier is to verify project emissio reductios ad sustaiable developmet impacts agaist the requiremets set out by the Gold Stadard. The verificatio shall esure that the reported emissio reductios are complete ad accurate i order to be certified. The verificatio comprises a review of the moitorig report over the moitorig period from 15/09/2012 to 14/03/2013 ad based o the registered PoA-DD, CPA-DD & GS Passport /B05/ i part of the moitorig parameters ad moitorig pla, emissio reductio calculatio spreadsheet, moitorig methodology ad all related evidece provided by project participat O-site visit ad stakeholders iterviews are also performed as part of the verificatio process. 1.3 Project Activity Descriptio Review of moitorig report /01/ reveals that, the PoA aims to distribute improved cook stoves (ICS) i households of Ugada. Improved Cook Stoves for East Africa (ICSEA) is the coordiatig/ maagig etity (CME) for the programme. Oe CPA has bee icluded i the program /B05/. The CPA 1 (ILFUg1) has dissemiated 3,044 ICS durig the moitorig period, which was cofirmed through stove distributio database /07/. The estimated GHG offset durig this moitorig period is 4,052 tos CO 2 e /03/. The value of f NRB has bee calculated usig coutry level data metioed i the PoA-DD ad CPA-DD. The weighted average value of f NRB is 91.5% /16/. Verificatio team cofirms the NRB assessmet based o the values metioed o the PoA-DD ad CPA-DD, which has already bee validated by the DOE durig the validatio period for registerig the PoA ad CPA 1. The PoA aims to support sustaiable developmet i the host coutry of Ugada where CPA 1 is uder implemetatio. The implemetatio of ICSs has improved the eviromet ad idividual household coditios of air pollutio by reductio i smoke ad black soot ad particulate matter. The stove type distributed withi the geographical boudary of Ugada is Okelo Kuc brad of portable domestic charcoal improved cook stoves (ICS) /05/. These Improved biomass cook stoves are built to reduce use of wood ad therefore related idoor air pollutats from icomplete combustio of fuel wood (CO ad PM). This project reduces greehouse gas emissios by dissemiatig efficiet biomass cook-stoves that were verified durig osite observatio ad iterview with house hold users to be more efficiet tha traditioal three stoes & traditioal stoves models i the Ugada. Usig Improved Cook Stoves provides the followig beefits: Reduce usustaiable wood harvest ad hece reduce the rate of deforestatio. Reduces fuel wood cost for households ad commuities ad save fuel collectio time. Cotributes to the preservatio of wood resources so as to avoid iter-commual coflict over resources. Provides employmet with regards to local moitorig survey, distributio of cook-stoves etc. Provides health beefits e.g. coughig ad irritatio of eyes as well time savig durig the cookig process. The verificatio team cofirm that the project is i lie with the plas cotaied i the registered PoA-DD ad CPA-DD /B05/. 2.

CME expected that respose rate will be 80% hece the sample size was adjusted by dividig the sample size by respose rate i.e. 43/0.8=55 (Rouded off). Hece DOE cofirms that sample size of 55 is correctly determied ad it meets the requiremet of CPA-DD & POA-DD /B05/. I lie with paragraph 16 of the methodology AMS IIG versio 03, CME has carried out a field exercise for checkig the operatig status of all ICS o the basis of represetative samplig. A list of 300 ICS serial umbers was geerated for the stove usage survey usig simple radom samplig with the aid of a computerised radomiser. There after the moitorig team made telephoe calls to the 96 registered owers of the radomly selected stoves but due to the 41 o-resposes, oly 55 stove users were evetually cotacted ad their households were visited by moitorig team. A questioaire with 22 questios was also admiistered to those 55 users, which icluded questios viz., baselie stoves, family size ad frequecy of usage of ICS. DOE could cofirm that the samples size was based o a 90% cofidece iterval ad a 10% margi of error requiremet for first survey & sample size of 55 coforms to EB 74-A06 versio 4 /B01/. Hece DOE cofirm the selectio of sample sizes were appropriate ad i lie with the CPA-DD /B05/ ad above guidace. The same was also cross-checked through review of calculatio sheet for sample size calculatio as aexed i CPA CER calculatio spreadsheet /03/. For o site visit, the verificatio team has followed the paragraphs of Stadard for Samplig & Surveys for CDM project Activities & Programme of Activity versio 04.1 /B01/. DOE assumed followig values for acceptace samplig method for verifyig the PP s samples as defied i table 1 of the applied stadard. Acceptace Quality Level (AQL) Uacceptable Quality Level (UQL) Producer Risk Cosumer Risk Sample Size () Acceptace umber (c) 1.0% 20% 10% 10% The sample size thus derived is eightee (18) with acceptace umber of oe (01). So, if discrepacies exist i more tha oe (01) record i the sample the the PPs set of records is ot accepted. Verificatio team have performed osite check o ietee (19) samples i.e. oe (01) more tha the acceptace samplig pla. The ame of stove owers (alog with serial umber of stoves) visited durig OSV is listed i sectio 2.3 of the report above. A CAR-2 was raised o makig the samplig pla trasparet ad the same was addressed i the revised MR. Stove Efficiecy Check Survey For determiig stoves efficiecy CME applied radom samplig based o the "Stadard for samplig ad surveys for CDM project activities ad programme of activities". Replacemet stoves were haded over to those households from where samples were picked ad set to laboratories where WBT was coducted. Stratified radom samplig ad followig equatio is used for determiig the sample size separately for 1year old ICS & 2 year old ICS: 4 Prior to Moitorig survey CME coducted a Oe-day pre-test exercise/11/ i Lira District o 01/08/2013 to determie a pre-survey estimate of the expected proportio of stoves i use. Durig that exercise PP visited 30 households ad foud 26 households were usig the ICS.

Durig moitorig survey the moitorig team made telephoe calls to the registered owers of the radomly selected stoves i the order geerated by the radomiser. A total of 72 Owers (1 year Old stoves) 108 owers (2 year Old stoves) were telephoed, but due to orespose from households, 32 owers each for 1 year as well as 2 years stoves were evetually cotacted. Miimum of 30 ICS were eeded for the efficiecy check (i accordace with EB 74-A06 versio 4). All users whose ICS was collected for testig, were provided with ew ICS ad records of all such replacemets were maitaied ad DOE cross checked the records through visit to those households & verified the ICS umbers of the replaced ICS with that i the records. The stoves collected from households were set to three laboratories amely Chemiphar Laboratory, Cetre for Research i Eergy & Eergy Coservatio (CREEC) ad Ugada Natioal Bureau of Stadards (UNBS) for determiatio of efficiecy of ICS. Verificatio team checked 100 % of the PP s sample data records /08/ for efficiecy measuremets for each year ad cofirms the followig: WBT are carried out as per Water Boilig Test spreadsheet versio ad the three laboratories used the same protocol ad values determied are cosistet with protocol.
