Version 06.0 Page 2 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM SECTION A. Description of project activity

A.1. General description of project activity Since more than two decades, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) promotes various activities in North Kivu in order to protect the Virunga Natural Park (ViNP) and alleviate poverty of the surrounding communities. One of these activities, and probably the most important, is the EcoMakala3 project, which consist in the improvement of the charcoal sector. For this, three main activities are being implemented: (i) Reforestation with fast growing species, (ii) displacement of non- renewable biomass used for charcoal production in unimproved traditional kilns by renewable biomass used in improved (more efficient) kilns with end-users of sustainably produced charcoal being households, SMEs or a group of households served by a charcoal market (e.g. charcoal consuming urban areas) 4 , (iii) production and dissemination of improved cookstoves (ICS) to households5 6. The EcoMakala Virunga Energy project concerns the last two activities, under the energy scope. The first activity (EcoMakala Virunga Reforestation project) is being certified as a GS LUF VER project. The project activity contributes to the sustainable development of energy wood supply of the populations in the North Kivu, mainly in the Southwest and Northwest periphery of the ViNP, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The project’s beneficiaries are thus the participating farmer- planters, the charcoal makers’ cooperatives and the households of Goma, Butembo and Beni. Last but not least, the charcoal provided by a legal source can be seen as the quantity of avoided deforestation within the park. The project’s objective is thus the improvement of the socio-economic and environmental conditions (through avoided deforestation and degradation of the ViNP and biodiversity preservation) besides mitigating GHG emissions. The following table illustrates some of the environmental and socio-economic benefits7 of the project:

Environmental benefits Biodiversity The deforestation of the Virunga park is reduced by the supply of alternative wood energy from plantations outside the park Air quality Improved cookstoves result in a cleaner burning of the charcoal and reduce fuel consumption, hence improving indoor air quality. Socio-economic benefits Employment The project involves several thousands of peasants, providing them a new source of income through the sale of wood for charcoal production. Further, employment is generated in the context of the production and sale of improved cookstoves. This involves artisans, salespeople and accountants. Access to End-users get access to charcoal which comes from a legal source, hence affordable do not rely anymore on unsustainably and illegally sourced charcoal. and clean Improved cookstoves provide clean energy services. energy services Technology More efficient charcoal production technology as well as improved Transfer cookstoves may result in spill-over effects outside of the project boundary.

The project activity is a standalone activity and is not a CPA of a PoA or a CPA that has been excluded from a registered PoA as a result of erroneous inclusion of CPAs.

3 The word ‘makala’ comes from Swahili language and means ‘charcoal’. ‘Ecomakala’ refers to the charcoal which is produced from renewable biomass coming from dedicated plantations. 4 This activity is further on in the MR referred to as ‘sustainable charcoal production/consumption component’ 5 The project activity may accomodate institutions as target group later on as allowed by the applied methodology TPDDTEC. A design change request would be submitted to GS in this case. 6 This activity is further on in the MR referred to as ‘Improved cookstove component’ 7 The list of SD benefits is not exhaustive. For more details to the SD impacts, see section D.2 of the MR.

Project boundary: a) The project boundary for the charcoal production/consumption component (AMS-III.BG methodology, page 6) includes the physical, geographical site of -the use of biomass -the carbonization units included in the project -the areas for storage, processing, bagging and weighting of inputs (biomass) and outputs (charcoal) -the use of charcoal or charcoal products Hence the project boundary consists of all eligible dedicated plantations under the GS A/R project ‘EcoMakala Virunga Reforestation project’ and biomass coming from those plantations, the improved (efficient) charcoal production kilns implemented by the project activity, the area where biomass and outputs are stored, processed, bagged and weighted as well as all households, SMEs or a group of households served by a charcoal market (e.g. charcoal consuming urban areas).

b) The project boundary for the improved cookstove component (TPDDTEC methodology, page 5) is the physical, geographical sites of the project technologies. Thus, the project boundary includes all individual households, which receive an ICS.

Target area: a) The sustainable charcoal production/consumption component targets the installation and operation of new and efficient charcoal production facilities and consumers of sustainably produced charcoal (households, SMEs and group of households served by a charcoal market (e.g. charcoal consuming urban areas) in five territories of North Kivu, namely Masisi, Rutshuru, Nyiragongo, Lubero, Beni including the three cities of Goma, Beni and Butembo.

b) The improved cookstove component targets end-users in the ‘communes’/’quartiers’ mentioned in the following table and located in the cities of Goma, Beni and Butembo.

The project may target other provinces (like e.g. South Kivu) apart from North Kivu in the future. In case that other provinces and/or cities (like e.g. Bukavu) are added in future, the PP would submit a Request for Design Change to the GS Foundation.

Fuel production and collection area a) The sustainable charcoal production/consumption component involves the production of renewable charcoal. The biomass for that renewable charcoal production is sourced from dedicated plantations located in the five territories of Masisi, Rutshuru, Nyiragongo, Lubero, Beni in the province of North-Kivu and outside of the Virunga National Park. The fuel production and collection area comprises of all plantations eligible under the GS LUF VER project ‘EcoMakala Virunga Reforestation project’. Please see the intervention zone (zone d’intervention) (see figure 3) where the eligible plantations are located.

b) The improved cookstove component involves the introduction of improved charcoal cookstoves (ICS). The charcoal used in these ICS has most likely been produced in North Kivu from biomass sourced from any of the territories in North Kivu, however might come from other provinces in DRC or even from the border regions from neighbouring countries (Rwanda, Uganda) too8. The charcoal used in the project ICS does not have to necessarily come from dedicated plantations established through the WWF project, nevertheless WWF recommends end-users to use ‘EcoMakala’9, the charcoal produced from biomass coming from dedicated plantations.

8 It is most likely that the charcoal comes from North Kivu due to shorter distances and hence less involved transport costs to reach the final end-users. 9 See the leaflet (‘depliant’) handed out to each end-user when buying the ICS which recommends the use of ‘EcoMakala’.

SECTION B. Implementation of project activity

B.1. Description of implemented project activity In terms of ICS, 2,721 ICS eligible11 under the carbon project activity have been sold during the monitoring period12. Those ICS have been sold in Goma only. ICS sales in Beni and Butembo were insignificant, hence will not be taken into account for carbon crediting under this monitoring period. Three different types of portable ICS stoves (Jiko Nguvu Nyeusi, Jiko Goma Stove and Jiko Harkisha) with the specifications as indicated in the PDD (section A.3.2) have been sold during the monitoring period (MP). The models Jiko Nguvu Nyeusi and Jiko Goma Stove shows the best sales figures (both 48% of sold stoves), whereas the Jiko Harkisha model has only been sold in minor quantities (4%). During the month of February 2018 sales figures were significantly higher than during the other months due to sales promotion and a price discount of 20% during that month.

In terms of sustainable charcoal production, 48.745 ton will be accounted for in this MP13. Only charcoal produced with biomass coming from eligible plantations in Masisi territory using improved technology and improved stacking procedures will claim carbon credits (section A.3.1). Sustainably produced charcoal coming from other territories is insignificant for this MP, hence is not been taken into account. During this MP only sustainable charcoal production valorised through the cooperatives

11 Sale of improved stoves began in 2009 and by end of 2016, around 70,000 improved cookstoves have been sold to households in North Kivu, in particular in the cities of Goma and Beni. Though carbon revenues have been seriously taken into consideration prior to the project start date (July 2009), PP decided not to claim carbon credits for the previously disseminated stoves since those stoves have been sold without unique identification numbers (serial numbers) and the leaflet explaining the use of the ICS and handed out to the households did not contain the carbon waiver, i.e. end-users agreement to transfer all rights on the carbon credits to the PP. 12 See document « GS5391_Sales records ICS_Goma_MP1_201709-201805 » 13 See document « GS5391_Production_Sales EcoMakala_MP1 »: the total registered quantity of produced sustainable charcoal is adjusted with a correction factor of 5% for conservativeness.

Version 06.0 Page 8 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM COPROMA, CACOPROB and COCOPROBBA, all being located within Masisi territory, will be considered. As from the following MP sustainable charcoal production as well coming from other territories and that is provided directly from the growers to Gomastove without passing through the cooperatives will also be accounted for carbon credits.

B.2.6. Changes to project design In regard to sustainable charcoal production and the use of improved technology, the project developer would like to clarify that the improved carbonization procedures do not necessarily include the use of a chimney (as maybe misleadingly explained in the PDD), in particular for very remote areas to which the transport of a chimney is not feasible. The chimney may be replaced by a few openings to the top of the kiln which have been made by round wood pieces having been introduced when preparing the kiln and later on removed when firing the kiln. These ‘semi-improved’ kilns use vents in the same way as the kilns using a chimney, hence still require a significant financial investment. Further, charcoal makers apply improved stacking procedures in the same way as for kilns with a chimney. Hence, the project developer deems to be justifiable to claim carbon credits for the semi-improved kilns using wood from eligible plantations, too.

Version 06.0 Page 9 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM SECTION C. Description of monitoring system

Sustainable charcoal production/consumption component

In terms of the parameter QCCP,i,y (Produced quantity of charcoal product i in year y), direct measurements (by using scales14) of the charcoal weight have been conducted The cooperatives maintain a database in which they record information related to grower and charcoal producer related data, date of acceptance, quantity of charcoal accepted, information about whether grower is member of association and cooperative, sourced from which type of plantation, type of carbonization technology used, etc15. In a similar way as for the charcoal acceptance, cooperatives are responsible for recording certain information when selling the charcoal to end- consumers, distributors and depot (e.g. Goma Stove). This information includes amongst others date of sale, buyers’ related data, quantity sold, information about whether a contract between cooperative and buyer exists, sourced from which type of plantation etc. Different types of contracts confirming the transfer of carbon credit ownership to the PP are signed and available for consultation: (i) contract between grower and charcoal producer; (ii) contract between grower and cooperative; (iii) contract between cooperative and distributor; and (iv) contract between cooperative and large end-consumer. For smaller quantities receipt notes are used confirming the transfer of carbon credit ownership to the PP. During this MP 268 t of charcoal production has been registered through the cooperatives in Masisi territory. Only 52 t of charcoal production is sourced from eligible plantations. For the remaining 216 t of charcoal production 152 t is sourced from non-eligible plantations, whereas for 64 t the source of the plantation is not known. When considering the type of carbonization technology, 257 t is produced through the improved carbonization technology and 10 t through semi-improved carbonization technology whereas 1 t (uprounded figure) through the traditional technology. Reasons for still using the traditional technology, is the difficulty to transport the necessary equipment to locations hard to reach. When considering the sustainable produced charcoal for which carbon credits can be claimed (i.e. sourced from eligible plantations and produced with the improved and semi-improved carbonization technology), the registered quantity is 51.311 t in the territory of Masisi. The registered quantity is adjusted with 5% for conservativeness as mechanical spring scales are used16. The final quantity of sustainable charcoal production for which carbon credits will be claimed is 48.745 t. The eligible produced quantities of charcoal from eligible plantations and produced with improved carbonization technology has cross-checked with the quantities sold to end-consumers and distributors. The ‘eligible fraction’ of charcoal sold has been calculated based on the registered figures of sold charcoal coming from eligible plantations and fraction of charcoal production with improved carbonization technology. The eligible fraction of charcoal sold during this MP is higher than the eligible produced charcoal. Production and sales data is collected by the cooperatives through smartphones using ODK software and also in registration books. Data are automatically transferred to the cloud when connection is available. Cooperatives have been trained by the data manager of the project on several occasions17. The data manager conducts data quality checks in order to guarantee consistency in the data. A survey with 100 randomly selected growers (planters) has been conducted in order to check on the following parameters for any potential project and leakage emissions from biomass: • qN,y: Rate of nitrogen applied, in year y NB: in the case that the default conservative value of 0.20 t N/ha per year will be used, no sampling survey would be conducted for this parameter;

The same can be said from products for soil amendment (by liming, application of dolomite, urea or other carbon containing agent. In addition, no fossil fuel or electricity is used for any activities during the exploitation of the plantation. Finally the survey confirms the absence of shift of pre-project activities and the fact that biomass being part of the plantation is not burned during the exploitation (e.g. burning the remaining biomass after harvesting the trees). The impact of the survey on the abovementioned parameters is described in section D.2.

Improved cookstove component All ICS sales will be recorded through smartphones or in exceptional cases through paper records (if smartphones are not available). Smartphones use ODK software or any other appropriate software tool and capture all required data related to sale, ICS and end-users to the largest extent possible19. Data are automatically transferred to a centralized database whenever the vendor is online. See in the following the preliminary data entry form for ICS sales which includes the following information: • Sales date • Name of the vendor • Location of sale • End-user related data (name, phone number, address) • Name/model of the ICS • Quantity of ICS sold • Serial number of the ICS • Mode of use: domestic or commercial • Price of ICS During this MP 2,721 ICS have been sold through direct sales, which corresponds to an average monthly sales volume of around 300 ICS. Sales through other distribution channels than direct sales have not been recorded during this MP. It is assumed that all ICS are in usage 1 week after sales date and hence will generate credits. The models Jiko Nguvu Nyeusi and Jiko Goma Stove shows the best sales figures (both 48% of sold stoves), whereas the Jiko Harkisha model has only been sold in minor quantities (4%). During the month of February 2018 sales figures were significantly

18 See analysis of survey in document « GS5391_Survey_Project and leakage emissions from biomass_MP1_EN » 19 As per the applied TPDDTEC methodology, the number of end user names and addresses (and phone numbers where possible) within sales record shall be large enough so that surveys and tests can be based on representative, purely randomly selected samples. In all cases data records with end users names and addresses shall be at least 10 times the survey and field test sample size in order to ensure an adequate end user pool to which random sampling can be applied.

Version 06.0 Page 11 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM higher than during the other months due to sales promotion and price discount of 20% during that month. All sales records are located within the project boundary described in section A.2. 37% of the sales are realized for end-users located in the municipality of Goma in the city of Goma, whereas 63% in the municipality of Karisimbi in the city of Goma. No sales have been registered in the cities of Beni and Butembo.

Usage survey: An annual usage survey determines the drop off rates as project technologies age and users switch back to the baseline technology20. 103 randomly selected households in Goma town21 have been sampled from 02/05/2018 to 13/05/2018. Since only one age group is involved in this 1st monitoring period. The requirements of 30 samples per age group and the weighting of the usage parameter according to age groups do not have to be taken into account. All of the interviews have been conducted in person by local surveyors trained before by the carbon consultants. ODK technology has been used for data collection. The document «Usage survey guidelines and instructions_EcoMakala_27042018» explains in detail the objective, sampling methodology, data collection and recruitment procedures as well as the management and analysis of data and quality control. The document «TRAINING PROTOCOL FOR SURVEYORS usage_monitoring survey 2018_07042018» illustrates the training provided to surveyors. According to the results of the survey 89% of the households have only one project ICS, whereas 9% two project ICS and 2% three project ICS. These figures will be used to determine the number of technology days for the calculation of carbon credits. The utilization rate is determined to be 92.23%. 8 out of 103 surveyed households were classified as non-users: 3 households didn’t have any indication of active usage of the project ICS and 5 households had a project ICS not in good or acceptable condition. The results of the usage survey are presented more in detail in document «GS5391_MS_Utilisation_MP1_20180612». The condition of the surveyed ICS can be consulted in document «GS5391_MS_Pictures_MP1_20180612». Besides the 103 households surveyed in the usage and monitoring survey, 50 additional households have been surveyed from 22/05/2018 to 29/05/2018 22 in terms of ICS benefits and end-user awareness. The consolidated result of the 153 households on the ICS benefits and end-user awareness are presented in document «GS5391_MS_Awareness_MP1_Consolidated». 93% of the surveyed respondents replied that they have the feeling to be sufficiently informed about the ICS benefits. The information channel on the ICS benefits in descending order of importance are: (i) Leaflet (including the information of transfer of rights of carbon credits to PP) provided at point of sales (93%); (ii) Media (like radio, TV, newspaper) (32%); (iii) Oral info provided at point-of-sale (28%); (iv) Household visit (25%); (v) Info provided by mobile Salesman/-woman (22%); and (vi) Information provided during cooking demonstration (15%). The survey also shows that 73% of the respondents replied that they have the feeling to be sufficiently informed/trained on how to use the ICS. The information channel on the ICS benefits in descending order of importance are: (i) Leaflet (including the information of transfer of rights of carbon credits to PP) provided at point of sales (95%); (ii) Household visit (37%); (iii) Oral info provided at point-of-sale (29%); (iv) Media (like radio, TV, newspaper) (22%); (iv) (v) Info provided by mobile Salesman/-woman (19%); and (vi) Information provided during cooking demonstration (18%).

Monitoring survey: Along with the usage survey, a monitoring survey of those households currently using the ICS has been carried out from 02/05/2018 to 13/05/2018 to assess end-user characteristics such as technology use, fuel consumption and seasonal variation. All households out of 103

20 It may be the case that the drop off rate is lower in the second year than in the first year, reflecting possible difficulties in the early adoption of a new technology. 21 There was no need to sample households in Butembo and Beni. Since no carbon credits will be claimed from ICS sold in those towns during the 1st monitoring period. 22 See document «20180420_Sample_MS_Awareness_MP1_20180614» for the determination of the sample of 50 households and document «GS5391_MS_Awareness_MP1_20180601» for the result of the survey of the sample of 50 households

Version 06.0 Page 12 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM households participating in the usage survey have been finally included in the monitoring survey. ODK technology has been used for data collection. A leakage assessment has not been conducted during this monitoring period and will be included as part of the next monitoring survey/performance certification. Since a leakage assessment has been carried out at the time of validation and is only needed every 2 years as per the applied methodology TPDDTEC (see Annex 5 of the methodology). The document «Usage survey guidelines and instructions_EcoMakala_27042018» explains in detail the objective, sampling methodology, data collection and recruitment procedures as well as the management and analysis of data and quality control. The document «TRAINING PROTOCOL FOR SURVEYORS usage_monitoring survey 2018_07042018» illustrates the training provided to surveyors. According to the survey results, all respondents use their project ICS only for domestic purposes. More than 95% of the surveyed households reported to use twice or more per day the project ICS during the wet and dry season. Before the purchase of the project ICS (i) 98% of the time charcoal was used during the dry and wet season; and (ii) more than 90% of the time an improved stove other than project stove (like e.g. charcoal pirate stoves) was used (during the dry season (93%) and wet season (94%)). Since the purchase of the project ICS the survey reveals that (i) the fuel use/frequency is the same as before the purchase of the project ICS (i.e. 98% of the time charcoal is used during the dry and wet season); and (ii) the project ICS is used at 96% independent of the season. In case respondents uses the project ICS also for other purposes than domestic cooking (i.e. 17%), it is exclusively for heating water for bathing/cleaning. 91% of the respondents mention to use less amount of fuel since receiving the project ICS. The results of the monitoring survey are presented more in detail in document «GS5391_MS_Utilisation_MP1_20180612».

Project Kitchen Performance Tests (KPT): KPTs with 85 randomly selected households using ICS have been carried out from 08/05/2018 to 15/06/2018 in Goma town23. The random selection of households ensured to have included a representative number of households for 2 out of the 3 identified baseline scenarios, so that it was finally possible to compare baseline fuel consumption with project fuel consumption for each of the scenarios through independent sampling. For one of the baseline scenarios (charcoal pirate stoves used in combination with electric stove) no separate project KPT has been conducted24 and the more conservative result from the project KPTs of households using solely charcoal pirate stoves has been applied for that scenario. The PP will update the project fuel consumption by carrying out biennial project KPTs to account for changes in the project scenario over time as project technologies age. The document «Project KPT protocol_English et Francais» explains in detail the objective, the necessary equipment and the KPT procedure to realize the Kitchen Perfomance Tests. The document « Product information Weight Balance KPT» provides product information of the scales used during the KPT. The document «Rapport de calibrage des balances utilisées pour les enquetes KPT à Goma» contains the calibration report of the scales used during the project KPT, whereas the file «Calibration balances KPT projet Goma MP1» the corresponding excel file for the determination of the deviation factor of 1.12% used to adjust the calculated average specific project fuel consumption. The document «TRAINING PROTOCOL FOR SURVEYORS KPT 2018_07042018» illustrates the training provided to surveyors for the KPT.

23 No carbon credits will be claimed for ICS sold in Beni and Butembo towns, hence no project KPTs have been conducted in those towns. 24 It was difficult to find in the project scenario households using both project ICS and electric stove. Further, baseline households have received their project ICS in May only, hence were not be considered as sufficiently representative of overall users in the database.

Version 06.0 Page 13 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM For each KPT data has been collected on data collection sheets which can be represented upon request. The document «KPT_Field data recording sheet_Goma_P_MP1» presents the collected data and for each KPT the average fuel consumption per capita and per day. The overall average fuel consumption resulting from the project KPT is calculated to be 0.26 kg/capita/day (after adjustment). All the project KPTs were conducted during the rainy season. Moisture content of the charcoal was not measured, but a conservative default value of 5% has been applied being the upper bound of the range indicated at http://cleancookstoves.org/technology-and-fuels/testing/protocols.html (see excel sheet available under KPT section/worksheet ‘coal/charcoal’). The baseline and project KPT data are analysed in combination to estimate the mean fuel savings. The analysis are presented per determined baseline scenario in the documents «GS5391_Single Fuel_KPT Result Analyser_Goma_MP1_Scenario_1», «GS5391_Single Fuel_KPT Result Analyser_Goma_MP1_Scenario_2» and «GS5391_Single Fuel_KPT Result Analyser_Goma_MP1_Scenario_3». Potential outliers are identified as those values which are either greater than 1.5 times the inter-quartile range (IQR) from the third quartile, or less than 1.5 times the IQR from the first quartile, and are excluded from the sample for further calculations. The sample results of all three scenarios satisfy after outlier exclusion the 90/30 rule25, which is in line with TPDDTEC for independent samples. Fuel savings calculation are presented in the tab «KPT_Consolidated result_Goma» of ER calculation file «GS5391_ER calculation EcoMakala_Energy_MP1_audit».

It is used for ex-ante purpose, because project KPT results will be only available at the time of 1st issuance. Ex-post, fuel savings are calculated as the difference between baseline fuel consumption and project fuel consumption (both determined through a KPT, whereas the baseline fuel consumption is fixed and the project fuel consumption updated biennially) or determined through the ageing test approach by monitoring the degradation in the performance of cookstove efficiency following the WBT and accordingly adjust the project fuel consumption level. The baseline fuel consumption is fixed in this case too.

Version 06.0 Page 29 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM A single usage parameter is weighted to be representative of the quantity of project technologies of each age being credited in a given project scenario. This is however not relevant for this monitoring period, since only age group is involved. The project follows the GS ‘Requirements and Guidelines for carrying out usage surveys for projects implementing improved cooking devices’.

Level B (Good Practice Monitoring Requirements) have been followed, which includes Level A mandatory monitoring requirements (step 1-3) and the additional Level B monitoring requirements as outlined in the GS ‘Requirements and Guidelines for carrying out usage surveys for projects implementing improved cooking devices’.

Level A requirements

Step 1: Defining stove use and non-use

The usage survey had been designed in such way that it has checked on frequency of use of ICS and baseline stoves, time since last use of ICS and since when ICS is in use. Hence, it has been possible to clearly Additional comments define when a project stove has been in use and when not. For further details see usage survey excel spreadsheet «GS5391_MS_Utilisation_MP1_20180612».

Step 2: Household Usage Survey

All usage surveys have been carried out in person. Sample size for the usage survey meets the requirements of TPDDTEC. The usage survey included a kitchen observation by the surveyors as well as an interview with the primary cook. Surveyors took photographs of the ICS and kitchen and captured GPS coordinates. For further details see usage survey excel spreadsheet «GS5391_MS_Utilisation_MP1_20180612».

Step 3: Verification Checks

CO2logic/WWF has randomly called 7 HHs after the surveyors had concluded their survey. This in order to verify whether the homes were indeed visited by the surveyors and the recorded responses have been correct. For further details see document «20180716_Rapport contre vérification_QC_Usage and monitoring survey».The result of 7 control surveys can be provided upon request.

Version 06.0 Page 30 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM Level B requirements

Field team training and supervision

CO2logic/WWF has provided training and supervision to surveyors to ensure that they have the capacity required to complete the usage survey successfully. The training was conducted prior to starting the fieldwork. Surveyors have been supervised and regular review of the collected data has been carried out, especially in the first days of data collection.

For details, please see the following documents: a) «TRAINING PROTOCOL FOR SURVEYORS usage_monitoring survey 2018_07042018» b) «participants list_training_monitoring/usage survey.pdf» c) «Usage survey guidelines and instructions_EcoMakala_27042018»

End-user training and follow up visits

End-users are made aware about how to use the stove through different means like information provided at the point of sale, through leaflets, Additional comments sales promotions or media like radio or TV. During the usage survey as well as in a separate survey (called ‘sensitization survey’), households were asked whether they were sufficiently informed and trained on how to use the stove. The response of the big majority of interviewed households was positive, hence this requirement is met. For details, please see the usage survey and sensitization survey excel spreadsheet «GS5391_MS_Awareness_MP1_Consolidated».

D.3. Implementation of sampling plan Usage and monitoring survey: Sampling method - The households were randomly selected from the sales database using the Excel random generator sampling tool (http://www.excel-easy.com/examples/random-numbers.html) and the sampled households are properly recorded in an excel spreadsheet (see document «20180420_Sample_MS_Utilision_MP1_20180709»). The households were visited in the chronological order starting from the top of the randomly sampled list. In case that a household is not available or accessible due to security or infrastructure reasons, the subsequent household in the randomly sampled excel list is taken. A justification has been provided in case that a household, even though making part of the sample group, is finally not visited.

Sample size - As per the applied methodology TPDDTEC, the minimum total sample size for usage survey is 100, with at least 30 samples for project technologies of each age being credited34. The usage parameter must be applied when calculating the quantity of fuel consumed in project scenario p during year y (Bp,y). Unless proven otherwise, it should be assumed that any drop off in the use of the project technology is replaced by fuel consumption in the applicable baseline scenario. Though the usage survey could be used in order to establish a useful lifetime for technologies after which

34 Thus if technologies of age 1-5 are credited, the usage survey must include 30 representative samples from each age for a total of 150 samples. The resulting usage parameter should be weighted based on the proportion of technologies in the total sales record of each age.

Version 06.0 Page 42 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM they are removed from the project database and no longer credited35, PP decided per se not to credit any improved cookstoves anymore being older than 2 years. In regard to the monitoring survey, TPDDTEC methodology prescribes the following minimum sample sizes depending on the population size: (i) Group size < 300 → Minimum sample size 30 or population size, whichever is smaller; (ii) Group size 300 to 1000 → Minimum sample size 10% of group size; and (iii) Group size > 1000 → Minimum sample size 100. Due to the fact that the monitoring survey is carried out in combination with the usage survey and households only participate in the monitoring survey if they are still using the project technology, it is anticipated that any non-response rate would be very low. Since, households already agreed to participate in the usage survey, it is very improbable that they would refuse to participate in the monitoring survey. Sampling frame - The sampling frame consists of the households included in the sales database for the city of Goma, and being eligible under the project activity. In addition, for this first usage/monitoring survey, the sampling frame consists of households only which purchased an ICS in the period between 01/09/2017 and 15/12/2017. This is in order to comply with the TPDDTEC requirement in footnote 33 which requests participants in a usage survey in the first year having technologies that have been in use on average longer than 0.5 years.

Survey - 103 randomly selected households in Goma town36 have been sampled from 02/05/2018 to 13/05/2018. Only one age group is applicable during this monitoring period.

Benefits and end-user awareness survey: Sampling method – The sampling method is similar as for the usage and monitoring survey. Details of the sample can be found in document «20180420_Sample_MS_Awareness_MP1_20180614». Sample size – No minimum total sample size is specified for the survey. Besides the 103 households surveyed during the usage and monitoring survey on benefits and end-user awareness, some 50 additional households have been added to the sample size in order to increase representativeness of the sample. Sampling frame - The sampling frame consists of the households included in the sales database for the city of Goma, with purchase date situated during this MP and being eligible under the project activity. Survey - Besides the 103 households surveyed in the usage and monitoring survey, 50 additional households have been surveyed from 22/05/2018 to 29/05/201837 in the city of Goma in terms of ICS benefits and end-user awareness.

Project KPT: Sampling method – As specified in the registered PDD paired sampling was envisaged. The first 23 surveyed households for project KPT were chosen based on the baseline KPT (see for more details document «Liste des ménages KPT_BS_Goma». When proceeding with the sampling, it revealed that most households from the baseline KPT were not available for the project KPT and that unpaired sampling should be envisaged. Hence additional households were sampled similar as for the usage and monitoring survey. Details of the additional sample can be found in document «Echantillon _KPT_appel Tél_Arsène_Mai 2018_20180626».

35 The corresponding household may of course then acquire a new improved stove in which case emission reductions will be claimable under another technology vintage.

36 There was no need to sample households in Butembo and Beni. Since no carbon credits will be claimed from ICS sold in those towns during the 1st monitoring period. 37 See document «20180420_Sample_MS_Awareness_MP1_20180614» for the determination of the sample of 50 households and document «GS5391_MS_Awareness_MP1_20180601» for the result of the survey of the sample of 50 households

Version 06.0 Page 43 of 54 CDM-MR-FORM Sample size – The sample size is determined in such a way that the results of randomly selected households complies with the 90/30 rule in order to apply the mean fuel savings for the calculation of emission reductions. Sampling frame – The sampling frame is the same as for the usage and monitoring survey. Survey - KPTs with 85 randomly selected households using ICS have been carried out from 08/05/2018 to 15/06/2018 in Goma town38. Survey for the determination of potential project and leakage emissions from biomass Sampling method – Growers are selected at random. Sampling size – At least 100 growers are selected for the survey Sampling frame – Only growers from eligible plantations make part of the sample frame. Survey – 100 growers of the territories of Masisi, Lubero, Beni and Rutshuru39 have been surveyed between 21/4/2018 and 28/6/2018.

Survey for charcoal producers Sampling method – Charcoal producers are selected at random. Sampling size – As the survey is limited to Masisi territory the sample size is limited to less than 20. Sampling frame – Only charcoal producers trained by the project are included in the sampling frame.

Survey - 16 charcoal producers have been surveyed in the territory of Masisi between 13/5/2018 and 4/6/2018.

SECTION E. Calculation of emission reductions or net anthropogenic removals

E.1. Calculation of baseline emissions or baseline net removals
