Submission incomplete:
1: If the coordinating/managing entity applied a sampling approach to determine data and parameters monitored, the DOE shall assess the compliance of the sampling efforts and surveys with the validated sampling plan in accordance with the “Standard: Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities” (para 346 of VVS for PoA).
1) The submitted spreadsheet did not contain the sample size calculation for the monitoring parameters and did not contain the calculation to confirm the compliance of the survey with the confidence and precision levels..
2) The verification report (p 66-67) shows that the required sample size for ηnew and Doy is 2 and 75 respectively; the required sample size for Neaters_project is 102 for CAP 1 & 5 and 104 for CPA 6, 8 & 10 accordingly; and the number of sample covered during the monitoring period for CPA 1& 5 is 10 for ηnew and 126 for Doy and Neaters_projectand and the number of sample covered during the monitoring period for CPA 6, 8 & 10 is 10 for ηnew and 104 for Doy and Neaters_projectand.
However, the monitoring report states that:
i) for the sampling for CPAs 6207-0001 and 6207-0005 (Sample 1), a sample size of 81 users was calculated for Neaters_project and 94 respondents were interviewed in order to reach the sample for Neaters_project of 82 stove users;
ii) for CPAs 6207-0006, 6207-0008 and 6207-0009 (Sample 2), A sample size of 83 was calculated for Neaters__project and 84 users could be contacted and an interview was performed to determine DOy and Neaters__project.
The DOE is required to provide further information on the discrepancy between the verification report and the monitoring report.
3) the DOE states that " Simple random sampling was applied by the CME for selection of the monitoring samples with 95/10 confidence / precision level respectively for the two groups (group 1 and Group 2) of CPAs for the annual monitoring of three parameters” However, it did not provide when the monitoring/sampling was done. Therefore the DOE is required to provide the information on how it verified annual sampling/monitoring by providing the relevant information such as sampling period for this and previous sampling/monitoring periods.

2: For each monitoring period, the DOE shall report an opinion on the cause of any increase in the actual GHG emission reductions achieved by the included non-A/R CPAs in the current monitoring period that was reported in monitoring report (para 340(d) of VVS for PoA).
The monitoring repot states that the actual GHG emission reductions achieved for CPA 6207-0009 is higher than the amount based on the ex ante estimation in the included CPA-DD while the DOE did not provide its validation opinion on the cause of the increase in emission reductions for CPA 6207-0009.
