SECTION 3: COMMENTS SUPPORTING REVIEW REQUEST
Please elaborate the reason for requesting a review on the issues you indicated in section 2 above

1) Refer to paragraph: paragraph 272 of VVS-PoA

As per the revised PoA-DD, following the introduction of microscale threshold to the PoA under the post registration changes, the additionality of the CPAs will be demonstrated as per paragraph 12 (a) of tool 19 (Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities, version 09.0), i.e. CPA is implemented in rural regions which have been identified as special underdeveloped zone (SUZ) areas of Nigeria based on data from World Bank as these areas fulfills the condition under paragraph 10(b)(iii) of Tool 19. Further, for CPAs which do not qualify the above conditions, additionality shall be demonstrated in line with Figure 2 of the Tool 19. The DOE is requested to explain how it validated the additionality of the CPAs and the conditions to demonstrate the additionality of the CPAs, as:

(a) The PoA-DD does not establish the SUZ as per paragraph 10(b) of Tool 19 which requires that SUZ is a region in the host country identified by the government in official notifications for development assistance. The PoA-DD classifies rural areas in Nigeria as SUZ based on data from World Bank which is not in accordance with the definition of the SUZ in paragraph 10(b) of the Tool;

(b) For CPAs which do not qualify under paragraph 12 of Tool 19, the PoA-DD and eligibility criteria have not described how the additionality will be demonstrated , in particular which tool(s) and which method(s) to be used to demonstrate additionality, and how the additionality will be demonstrated by the CPAs, including the conditions to be fulfilled in order to demonstrate the additionality in the eligibility criteria.

 

2) Refer to paragraph: paragraphs 265 and 266 of VVS-PoA

The permanent changes to the registered monitoring plan propose that there will only be a single primary sampling unit for parameter “Adjustment to account for any continued use of pre-project devices” (μy). As the PoA-DD states that this parameter is largely dependent on cooking practices within the population rather than on who is distributing/installing stoves or the type of stove being distributed, the DOE is requested to explain why cooking practice is not taken in account in the determination of the primary sampling unit.
