Submission incomplete:
1: AMS-III.AV ver. 03 paragraph 3:
The applied methodology (AMS-III.AV ver. 03 paragraph 3) allows project activities to be implemented either under either Case 1 or Case 2 (i.e. the percentage of population using improved drinking water). It is noted that CPA0003 is implemented following Case 1 whereas CPA0008 follows Case 2. The CME/DOE shall clarify how the Case allocation was determined considering that the two CPAs (CPA0003/0008) are located in the same district (i.e. Mbale District).

2: Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities ver. 07, paragraphs 13 and 24 (a):
For the parameters “water quality and Drink%”:
i. The water quality was checked by collecting water samples from households who use the programme dispensers for water purification. It is noted that the sample size of 702 households selected by the CME covered only 14 water points out of the possible 5,476 water points. The parameter “Drink%” was also sampled from the same 702 households. The DOE shall provide information on how it verified that the selected sample size for the “water quality and Drink%” was sufficient and representative of the total water points population;
ii. The monitoring report does not indicate the dates when the sampling surveys for the parameters “water quality and Drink%” were conducted.

3: General guidelines for SSC CDM methodologies version 22.1, paragraphs 27 and 30 (b):
The monitoring surveys were conducted in Oct/Nov 2017 for the current monitoring period 01/06/16-31/12/17. The DOE shall provide information on how it considered:
i. The validity of the survey results for CPA0002/0003 with operational dates 01/06/16-31/12/17 (refer to the General guidelines for SSC CDM methodologies version 22.1, paragraph 27 which requires that survey results for monitoring period can only be used upto 12 months after the date of survey).
ii. Raising FAR-3 regarding CPA0008/0009 to adjust the emissions reductions during the next monitoring period appropriate instead of adjusting for the current monitoring period (please refer to the General guidelines for SSC CDM methodologies version 22.1 paragraph 30 (b)) which requires that survey results beyond 12 months cannot be used to quantity emission reductions).

4: VVS-PoA ver. 01 paragraph 359 (a):
The emission reduction calculation has considered dispensers with missing barcodes (refer UG Dispenser Database MP#4, column C). The DOE shall provide information on how it verified that these dispensers also belong to this programme activity.

5: VVS-PoA ver. 01 paragraph 359 (c):
The CPA-DDs indicate that the “quantity of drinking (QPWsampled) is calculated taking into account for the fraction of population which would have boiled water (POPboiling). However, the emission reduction spreadsheet (ER calculation UG MP4, Row 53) does not consider the POPboiling.

6: Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities ver. 07, paragraph 32:
The DOE’s sample size on water quality indicated that 4 out of 28 water samples could not reach the CME’s average value of 100% (i.e. greater discrepant records were observed). The DOE shall provide information on how it complied with paragraph 32 of the Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities which requires the DOE not to accept the CME’s set of records if greater discrepant records are observed.

7: VVS-PoA ver. 01 paragraph 343:
The monitoring report (page 7) indicates that the dispenser databases for CPA IDs 2, 3, 9, 10, 21 and 22 contain details about the unique waterpoint IDs (i.e. 7030587 etc.), installation dates and administrative units in which the dispensers were installed. The DOE raised and closed clarification No. 3. However, it is noted that:
i. No information is provided on how the dispensers are identified across the CPAs considering that some CPAs are located in the same districts (i.e. CPAs 0002/0003 in Manafwa District and CPAs 0003/0008 in Mbale District);
ii. No information on how households supplied with clean water from the programme dispensers and participating in other CDM programmes (i.e. energy efficiency cookstoves) are identified and discounted.
