Low greenhouse gas emitting safe drinking water production systems (version 03.0)
Sectoral 3 (3.1) Scale: Large Scale Small Scale Scope/Technical Area Final CPA DD : Version 04 dated 27/03/2015 Average emission Estimated: 44,742 tCO2e/year reductions: The CPA seeks to further the access of households and communities to safe drinking water, using a low greenhouse gas emitting water purification technology, chlorine dispensers. The chlorine dispenser program includes commissioning of the chlorine dispenser hardware, GHG reducing community education, and a regular supply of chlorine. The CPA thus measure/technology: reduces the use and demand of non-renewable biomass that would have been used to boil the water as a mean of water purification in the absence of the CPA. This directly leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Party/ies involved in the PoA

VALIDATION OPINION Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd. (CCIPL) has performed the validation of the component project activity (CPA) in Uganda titled “Chlorine Dispensers in Uganda – CPA 3” requesting inclusion in the PoA titled “International Water purification Programme”. The validation was performed on the basis of the eligibility criteria for including CPAs as stated in the registered PoA-DD (version 06; dated 02/10/2012) /B03/ registered on and relevant UNFCCC criteria for the inclusion of CPAs into a PoA. The validation was undertaken (by means of a document review, background investigation and interviews with relevant stakeholders). The validation team of CCL considers that the CPA description of the CPA titled “Chlorine Dispensers in Uganda-CPA 3” included in CDM-SSCCPA-DD /01/ is accurate and complete and meets the requirements to be included in the PoA titled “International Water purification Programme” /B03/ and correctly applies the baseline and monitoring methodology AMS-III.AV (version 03.0) /B02/. Standard auditing techniques have been used for the validation of the CPA. The CPA results in reductions of CO2 emissions that are real, measurable and provide long-term benefits to the mitigation of climate change. An analysis, as provided by the applied methodology, demonstrates that the proposed CPA is not a likely baseline scenario. Emission reductions attributable to the CPA are additional to any that would occur in the absence of the CPA. Given that the CPA is to be implemented as designed, the project is likely to achieve the estimated amount of emission reductions as specified within the CPA-DD /01/. The annual average emission reductions of the CPA are estimated to be 44,742 tCO2e per year over the selected crediting period. The estimated emission reductions have been cross-checked and are deemed likely given that the underlying assumptions do not change. The monitoring plan provides for the monitoring of the CPA’s emission reductions. The monitoring arrangements as described are feasible with the CPA design and CCIPL is of the opinion that the CME and CPA implementer are able to implement the monitoring plan. The validation is based on the information made available to CCIPL, as well as the engagement conditions detailed in this report. The validation has been performed following the VVS (version 7.0) /B01-1/ requirements. The validation was executed in the following phases: Receipt of CPA-DD /02/ from the CME Issuance of the DVR with corrective action requests (CARs) and clarification requests (CLs) Desk review of revised CPA-DD applying AMS-III. AV. (version 03.0) /B02/ and eligibility criteria as stated in the registered PoA-DD /B03/. Review of responses for CARs/CLs Issuance of the final validation report (FVR) The validation describes a total of 05 (five) findings, which include: 02 (two) Corrective Action Requests (CARs); 03 (three) Clarification Requests (CLs); All findings have been closed satisfactorily during the validation of the CPA. The review of the CPA-DD/01/&/02/, subsequent follow-up interviews, and further verification of references/evidences have provided CCIPL, with sufficient evidence to determine the fulfilment of stated criteria in the registered PoA-DD /B03/. Hence, CCIPL is of the opinion that the CPA meets all relevant UNFCCC requirements for CDM provided that the underlying assumptions do not change. Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd., thus recommends the CPA for inclusion in the registered PoA.

INTRODUCTION
Swiss Carbon Assets Ltd (hereafter referred as Client) & Pure Water Ltd. (hereafter referred to as “the CME”) have commissioned Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd. (CCIPL) to perform the validation of the proposed small scale CPA in Uganda requesting to be included in the PoA. Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd. was commissioned to assess the information in the CDMSSC-CPA-DD for the CPA titled “Chlorine Dispensers in Uganda – CPA 3” (hereafter called “the CPA”) against the requirements for including CPAs to the registered PoA “International Water Purification Programme ” and further documentation requirements for including CPAs to a PoA. This report summarizes the findings of the validation of the small-scale component Project Activity Design Document (CDM-SSC-CPA-DD-FORM), performed on the basis of UNFCCC criteria for the CDM, as well as criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting and eligibility criteria for inclusion of the CPA as established in the registered PoA /B03/. The term “UNFCCC criteria” refers to Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, the CDM modalities and procedures and the simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM project and the subsequent decisions by the COP/MOP and CDM Executive Board. In addition to these criteria, host country criteria are also taken into account.
1.1
Objective
The assessment of a CPA requesting to be included in a registered PoA shall ensure that all the requirements (as defined in the form of eligibility criteria) determined in the PoA are met. The assessment was performed on the basis of the eligibility and additionality criteria established in the PoA and the UNFCCC criteria for including CPAs to a Programme of Activities (PoA) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), as well as criteria given to provide for consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting according to AMS-III.AV (version 03.0).
1.2
Scope
The validation scope is defined as an independent and objective review by a Designated Operational Entity (DOE) of the CPA-DD /01/&/02/ to be included in the registered PoA. The DOE shall scrutinize the information in the CPA-DD/01/&/02/ to assess compliance with the eligibility criteria and criteria for demonstrating additionality established by the PoA, to confirm the accurate application of AMS III.AV (version 03.0)/B02/ and to check the compliance with documentation requirements for CPAs and relevant UNFCCC criteria for including CPAs into PoA. The validation is not meant to provide any consulting towards the program participants. However, stated requests for clarifications and/or corrective actions may have provided input for improvement of the component project design.

Resolution of outstanding issues
The CPA assessment is based on the “Clean Development Mechanism Validation and Verification Standard” (Version 07.0) /B01-1/ in particular §220, §222, 223, §224, 228 §229 to §239 of Annex 04 of EB 79 /B03-3/ and is conducted using standard auditing techniques to assess the correctness of the information provided by the CME/project participant(s) and/or CPA implementer(s). Before the assessment begins, members of the validation team covering the technical scope, sectoral scope and relevant host country/region experience for evaluating the CDM CPA are appointed in line with applicable UNFCCC and CCIPL requirements. Once the CPA documents are made available, members of the team carry out the desk review, follow-up actions, resolution of issues identified, and the preparation of the validation report. The prepared validation report including the validation findings underwent a technical review. The technical review was performed by a technical reviewer qualified in accordance with UNFCCC requirements Carbon Check (India) Private Ltd.’s qualification scheme for CDM validation and verification. In order to ensure transparency the criteria (requirements, means of validation and the results from validating the identified criteria) were validated and findings raised are listed in the findings table as depicted below. All assumptions are clearly stated and background material referenced. In order to ensure transparency a validation protocol is customised for the programme.

CPA Description
The following description of the proposed component project activity as per CPA-DD/01/&/02/ is verified:

The CPA titled “Chlorine Dispensers in Uganda – CPA 3” is developed under the Small-Scale Programme of Activities (PoA) titled “International Water Purification Programme” for reduction of emissions from non-renewable fuel from boiling of water at household level. The project is coordinated and managed by CME Pure Water Limited. The CPAs of the PoA/B03/ seeks to improve the access of households and communities to safe drinking water, by using a low greenhouse gas emitting water purification technology, chlorine dispensers. Chlorination provides residual protection against recontamination for up to 72 hours. The chlorine dispenser program includes dispenser hardware, community education, and a regular supply of chlorine EA educates the community about the dangers of contaminated water and how to use the dispenser for treating water. To use the dispenser, community members go to their water source, place their bucket or jerrican under the dispenser, turn the valve to dispense the correct amount of chlorine, and then fill the bucket as they normally would with water from the source. Based on the results of the turbidity measurements during the Water Point Site Inspection Survey the community is informed to turn the valve either once or twice. One turning of the valve dispenses 3ml of chlorine. A community member is elected to be the dispenser ‘promoter’ who encourages use of the dispenser, reports any problems, and refills the dispenser with chlorine. EA provides on-going servicing of the dispensers such that communities have sustainable access to safe water over the long-term. Thus, the CPA reduces the use and demand of non-renewable biomass that would have been used to boil the water as a mean of water purification in the absence of the CPA. This directly leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This CPA is thus primarily designed for the long-term improvement of the living conditions of the local communities in this part of rural Uganda. End users have also given full rights to of the carbon credits generated from the dispenser in favour of EA. DOE cross checked this information through review of the “Chlorine Dispenser Carbon Rights Waiver” forms/05/ which are signed by the village promoter for each and every dispenser installed. It is confirmed through the Emission Reduction Purchase agreement/16/ between CME & CPA Implementer that the CPA Implementer shall be responsible for the implementation & operations of project. During OSV DOE could confirm that installation of dispensers for CPA-3 have commenced w.e.f. 22nd January 2014/06/ & One Thousand (1000) chlorine dispensers have been already put up for use in Mbale (9 Sub counties) & Manafwa (21 sub counties) districts in Eastern Uganda during January – October 2014. DOE confirmed the above installation numbers through Dispenser data base /03/ and OSV. In September 2014 a baseline survey/04/ was conducted to determine the type of stoves and fuel used. The weighted average of the stove efficiency was used for calculating the baseline emissions as more than one type of stove/fuel is used in the project area. 30 Water points were randomly selected and subjected to survey. The survey was conducted on 239 households /04/ using “Baseline questionnaire”/04/ and baseline stove efficiency of 10.92% was determined in Baseline data CPA 3 spreadsheet/04/.The baseline survey was also cross-checked by DOE through the household visits and interviews with 41 users of chlorine dispensers. Validation team confirms that the baseline survey/04/ meets the requirements for baseline survey representativeness, sample size and data collected. Each water Point ID is uniquely identified and dispenser ID is inscribed on metallic bar code. In addition the date of erecting the dispenser is also etched on the concrete foundation. Hence the validation team based on the review of the existing procedures/15/ of CPA implementer and OSV could confirm that there is no double counting of emission reductions due to the implementation/inclusion of the CPA. This CPA does not belong to or included in any other PoA or stand-alone CDM project or part of other CPA in the same PoA.

The validation team has cross checked this information from the UNFCCC website /B06/ and interviews and confirm that there is no other similar PoA or CDM project occurring in the CPA area and the CPA is neither registered as an individual CDM project activity nor is part of another registered PoA. Each Water point is identified through a unique Water ID number and then recorded in the Water point/Dispenser database/03/. The Water Point/Dispenser /03/ database Baseline data/04/ and Chlorine Delivery records/21/ is a comprehensive set of record for the proposed CPA under the PoA which includes detailed information on following:
Location including geo coordinates of the water point Promoters responsible for dispenser Dispenser installation records Current methods of water purification followed by community using the water point Quality Parameters of water. No of Household catered by water point Chlorine Delivery Records Records of Inspection and maintenance of dispensers
For maintaining these records EA has implemented a mobile based process (Mobile sim cards are given to each promoter of the water point to send information /complaints/refill requests through SMS which gets captured into the data base at their head office . The CPA will result in average emission reductions of 44,742 tCO2e per annum /01/, /02/. Emission reduction calculation has been done as per the applied methodology AMS III.AV. ver 03 /B02/. Based on the information furnished on ODA/20/ by the CPA implementer, DOE could confirm that there is no diversion of ODA involved.
3.2
CPA Boundary
The geographical boundary of the PoA will be the national boundaries of all the CPA host countries. The boundary for this SSC CPA is located in Uganda, which is the host country listed as per the PoA boundary specified in section A.4.1 of the PoA-DD/B03/. The CPA boundary is confined to the physical, geographical sites of the low greenhouse gas emitting technologies for water purification installed by the project activity i.e. the household / institutional buildings where the consumers of safe drinking water provided by the systems are located. This CPA will take place in eastern Uganda in following districts & sub counties:
Manafwa district -(Bubutu, Bukiabi, Bumwoni, Lwakhakha TC, Magale, Namboko, Bugobero, Bukhofu, Bukhusu, Bunabwana, Busukuya, Butiru, Butta, Buwagogo, Kaato, Khabutoola, Manafwa TC, Nalondo, Sibanga, Sisuni and Wesswa sub-counties) Longitude: E 34° 18’ 51.38”, Latitude: 52’ 40.72”N 00°

The application of the project technology/equip ment achieves compliance either with: (i) at a minimum the “interim” performance target as per “Evaluating household water treatment options: Health based targets and microbiological performance specifications” (WHO, 2011); or (ii) an applicable national standard or guideline.
are eligible under the methodology AMS –IIII.AV(version 03.0)/B02/.
Yes No
Conclusion : Based on the above assessment, the validation team concludes that this eligibility criterion of the PoA is complied with the subject CPA. DOE validated & confirmed the requirement of Chlorination meeting the “interim” performance target by review of WHO document “Evaluating household water treatment options (HWT): Health based targets and microbiological performance specifications” (WHO, /08/ 2011) . Table A 2.4 on page 52 of the specifications shows that free chlorine disinfection achieves a 3log removal for bacteria, viruses and most protozoa and thus meets the ‘protective’ performance. DOE further cross checked this with the confirmation of the same th through a letter dated 17 July 2012/08/ addressed to the CME by Robert Bos (Coordinator Water, Sanitation, Hygiene & HealthWHO). The above communication confirms WHO recommendations on usage of chlorination as HWT/08/. Further DOE has referred to the following Small Scale Working group clarifications SSC_672,SSC_673 & SSC_707/09/ which confirms that chlorination technology is applicable under AMS IIIAV Version 03.

In cases where the life span of the water treatment technologies is shorter than the crediting period of the project activity, there shall be documented measures in place to ensure that end users have access to replacement purification systems of comparable quality.
Yes No
Conclusion : Based on the above assessment, the validation team concludes that this eligibility criterion of the PoA is complied with the subject CPA. Hardware Lifetime is estimated at 5 years. This was verified through review of technical specification ./11/ of the hardware, Engineering & test reports of dispensers and valve./11/ Measures are in place to ensure that chlorine is refilled regularly as per delivery plans/21/ PP has confirmed the replacement in the event of non functioning .( Section A 8.2) and in operation procedures on page 5 of CPA-DD broken chlorine dispensers shall be replaced with systems of comparable quality. Since all the dispensers are installed in the year 2014, there is no event of broken or non functional dispenser getting replaced. This was evidenced through dispenser database /03/. The database/03/ has a column “U” which is meant for recording former ID of dispenser In the event of change of dispenser. Promoters are provided with a mobile air time vouchers for calling the office of evidence action and ask for the refills. This is validated during OSV through interactions with promoters. Promoter is responsible for calling the EA office for any kind of issue relating to functioning of dispenser and any other issues raised by end users. This information was validated through review of chlorine delivery plan /21/ & interaction during OSV with households, promoters & employees. Conclusion:

(a) Case 1: Project activities implemented in rural or urban 1 areas of countries with proportion of rural population using an improved drinking-water source equal to or less than 60% confirmed by one of the three options below: (i) Proportion of populations using an improved drinking-water source for the most recent year for which data is available from WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation shall be used () for this purpose. Definition of improved and unimproved drinking water source shall be as per the information provided by JMP;
Based on the above assessment, the validation team concludes that this eligibility criterion of the PoA is complied with the subject CPA. Project activities is implemented in selected counties of Manafwa (21 sub counties)& Mbale districts(9 sub counties) . PP has taken the % access values for each district from the “Water Atlas data” 2010/07/ (This data is developed by Directorate of Water Development, Ministry of Water and Environment Uganda). DOE has also confirmed that, Water atlas/07/, contains the district vise data gathered between 200910. Subsequent to release of water atlas there is no revision to the same/07/. DOE has also cross checked the Email confirmation dated 16/04/2014/07/ by appropriate technology Centre- Ministry of Water and Environment Uganda confirming that the water Atlas 2010 is the most current version DOE has further validated this data through the most current “ Water & environment Sector Performance report 2014” released in October 2014. Page 14/07/ reports access rates for rural district level for Manafwa (56%) and Mbale (63%) which are for whole district . and average of these works out to be 59.5%. Conclusion: Since the project is implemented in selected sub counties DOE infers and confirm that the calculation of weighted average access rate of 57.1% is appropriate and conservative. Since this is lower than 60% the project confirm the applicability as Case -1 of the methodology AMS III AV version 03/B02/.

Additionality
3.4.1 Prior consideration of the CDM The demonstration and assessment of prior consideration of the CDM does not apply to CPAs of PoA, as at present it is expected that no component of the programme will commence prior to the start date of validation of the PoA. The CPA is already under implementation and the start date of the CPA as stated in CPA-DD /01/ is 22/01/2014, which is the date of installation of first 2 dispensers in Manafwa district as part of CPA 3. The same was verified through review of Installation Forms/06/ as well as during OSV. Refer to eligibility criteria 10 in Section 3.3 of this report. The start date of CPA is after the start date of PoA i.e. 19/11/2012 and found to be satisfactory. 3.4.2 Approach for demonstrating CPA additionality Validation team confirms that since the CPA meets the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the PoA therefore deemed additional. Additionality of the CPA is one of the eligibility criteria; please refer to eligibility criteria 11 in Section 3.3 of this report.

which generates a random distribution. The lowest thirty values emerging out of this randomization then provided the 30 water points selected for the sample. Eight Households per ID were visited to determine the type of stove used by the household and the weighted average value of efficiency of the water boiling systems in baselines cases was determined. For calculation of efficiency the default values from methodology AMS-III.AV (version 03.0) /B03/ have been used as under i. Conventional stove fired with wood or charcoal: 10%. ii. Improved stove fired with wood or charcoal: 20%. The value of 10.92 % has been determined on basis of 239 samples. To Cross check this value DOE followed the paragraphs 24~29 of “Standard-Sampling and Survey of CDM Projects & program of activities” EB69 Annex 05.

Conclusion : Based on the above assessment, the validation team confirms that the value of 10.92% as baseline efficiency of stoves is appropriate and conservative. Default value EB 67 Report Annex 22 Water Point Site Inspection Survey.. This value is validated by: a) Confirming the capacity of chlorine refill as 5 Liter during OSV & specification of chlorine /10/. b) Dosage (3 ml dose treats 20 liters of water if turbidity is below 10 NTU and 6 ml if turbidity is above 10 NTU) /10/. DOE confirmed this through results of the Water Point Site Inspection Survey which show that 97.99% of the households in the project boundary collect chlorine from dispensers with 3 ml dosage and 2.01% from dispensers with 6 ml dosage. Hence the weighted average dosage is calculated as 3.06 ml. c) Capacity of Jerri can commonly used for fetching water is 20L The value of 32,680 is arrived is by (a/b)*c This is calculated by multiplying average number of households /dispenser by average number of persons/house hold.

3.5.2 Emission Reduction calculations The baseline emissions shall be calculated as follows, according to AMS.III-AV version 03:
BE y QPW y * SEC * f NRB , y * EFprojected _ fossilfuel *10 9
(1)
Where: BEy
Baseline emissions during the year y (tCO2e) Quantity of purified water in year y (liters). The quantity of purified water is determined based on the number of chlorine dispensers installed that will be functional during the crediting period, and the estimated volume of drinking water that can be treated by each functional chlorine dispenser (estimated ex-ante at 238,898,970 L/year based on average number of chlorine refills multiplied by the dispenser capacity and by two correction factors accounting for chlorine losses during dispenser refilling and treated water that is used for purposes other than drinking). QPWy = LP * Ny * Refill# * Refill% * Drink% Number of Functional Chlorine Dispensers Ny
QPWy
This value is calculated as 95% * Number of installed Chlorine Dispensers. Though this value will be measured annually, DOE could confirm through interview with promoters about the downtime of dispensers or unavailability of chlorine. Promoters confirmed that there is no shortage of chlorine and there are one/two refills which are always with them & dispensers are well maintained by EA staff. DOE is of the opinion that estimation of functional dispensers as 95% of total installed dispensers is appropriate and conservative. Refill# = 9 average number of chlorine refills in a year. Though this value will be measured annually. DOE could confirm through interview with promoters claiming that that a chlorine refill of 5 liter lasts between 35-45 days, Hence this value is conservative. Refill% = 95%. Though this value will be measured every 4 months through Promoters Survey, DOE could not observe any significant loss of chlorine through leaking or malfunctioning of valves, hence it is of the opinion that estimation of chlorine availability is conservative.
SEC
Drink% = 90%. Though this value will be measured every 4 months through Promoters Survey, DOE could confirm through interview with end users and promoters that all of the chlorine added water is used for drinking and cooking purposes. Communities have been educated that they should not add chlorine to water which is used for purposes other than drinking. Hence DOE is of the opinion that estimation of usage of 90% of chlorine added water for drinking and cooking purposes is conservative. Specific energy consumption required to boil one liter of water (kJ/L), Specific energy consumption required to boil one liter of water is to be calculated as follows:

Monitoring Plan
The monitoring plan presented in the CPA-DD /01/ complies with the requirements of the PoA DD /B03/, the applied monitoring methodology /B02/. The validation team of CCL has verified all parameters in the monitoring plan against the requirements of the methodology and no deviations have been found. The procedures have been reviewed by the validation team through a document review and interviews with the relevant stakeholders. The information provided has allowed the validation team to confirm that the proposed monitoring plan is feasible within the project design. The relevant points of monitoring plan have been discussed with the PoA managing entity / CPA implementer. The parameters that are to be monitored ex-post are: Parameter /01/, /B03/, QPWy
Description /01/, /B03/ Quantity of purified water in year y Value derived from the capacity of the equipment and the number of functional project appliances: QPWy = LP * Ny * Refill# * Refill% * Drink% Ny = 95% * Number of installed Dispensers Refill# = Average number of refills per functional dispenser per year. It is determined through chlorine delivery records. The value is achieved by dividing the total number of chlorine refills to functional chlorine dispensers by the total number of functional dispensers. For the emission reduction calculation the value is based upon chlorine deliveries made so far.

Although the PoA-DD indicates method of sampling for measurement of this parameter, however, monitoring of all dispensers as proposed in the CPA is more conservative. DOE confirms that frequency of measurement for this parameter is as per registered POA-DD /B02/, which keeps both the options of annually or biennially. DOE confirms that frequency of measurement for this parameter is annual or biennial. This is as per as per the registered PoADD /B02. However this parameter shall not be applicable for CPA as this is not a case-2 project. Annual DOE confirms that the frequency of this parameter is as per registered PoA-DD /B02/. Biennial.

Sampling Methods that would be applied PP shall apply the sampling plan as presented in the PoA-DD /B03/ and corresponding validation report. This CPA shall be grouped with similar CPAs implementing Chlorine dispensers in Uganda and cluster sampling of devices shall be applied as described in the registered PoADD. CPAs which shall implement technologies not shared by other CPAs shall be monitored separately. This is in line with Sampling design § (iii) section 7.2 of PoA-DD /B03/ /B03/. A cluster shall be a community such as a village where the usage of chlorine dispensers shall not significantly deviate from household to household due to similar habits and/or lifestyle. The sampling will be done using an Excel spreadsheet or Stata software, which will be programmed to randomly select numbers corresponding to the unique ID numbers of the clusters. The reliability calculation for each sample size has been demonstrated separately in ER Calculations CPA3 spreadsheet /01/&//02/ and verified by DOE. The sampling approach shall be used for monitoring following parameters i. Quantity of Purified water annually (For determining values of Refill% & Drink%) ii. Water Quality DOE can confirm that the approach presented by PP and the sample size thus determined for the above mentioned parameters in the CPA conforms to the sampling approach prescribed in PoA-DD/B03/ and generic CPA-DD/B03/. The approach is deemed as appropriate and is in line with § 15 of EB 69 Annex 5 /B04/. Under this approach of cluster sampling, water samples shall be collected from all households of the sample cluster. The approach is in line with the sampling approach prescribed in PoA-DD/B03/ and generic CPA-DD/B03/ Water quality will be sampled as per “Guidelines for sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities (version 03.0)/B04/” and Standard for sampling and surveys for CDM PAs and PoAs (version 03.0)/12/ with the requirements of the methodology, AMS-III.AV, taking precedence. The households will be sampled using 95/10 confidence/precision for biennial sampling (except in the cases when the monitoring period is below one year and carried out for only one CPA, in this case a confidence/precision level of 90/10 shall be sufficient) as the criteria for reliability of sampling efforts according to EB 69 “Guidelines for sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities (version 03.0)” Page 20, Example -3 Cluster sampling and Standard for sampling and surveys for CDM PAs and PoAs (version 03.0) /12/. The sampling plan includes provisions that in case not all the dispensers could be visited during monitoring within one cluster, the sampled values from the cluster will be retained if either a maximum two observations were missing per cluster or if the estimates for that said cluster reach the required reliability of the sampling campaign. This is in compliance with AMS-III.AV

The CPA seeks to further the access of households and communities to safe drinking water, using a low greenhouse gas emitting water purification technology, chlorine dispensers. The CPA reduces the use and demand of non-renewable biomass that would have been used to boil the water as a mean of water purification in the absence of the CPA. This directly leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The CPA is in accordance with the proposed or registered PoA, and in accordance with the applicable provisions in the Project standard, however a CR is observed Clarification Request # 01 In section A3 While the value for rural population not having access to safe drinking water of 29%, is taken from JMP which is the most current & dated 2012 .But the value of 42,9% is derived from world atlas 2010. Please clarify why the most current data of 2012 is not used to determine this value for the project

Chlorine dispensers are an innovative, low-cost approach proven to increase rates of household water treatment. Chlorination also provides residual protection against recontamination for up to 72 hours. The chlorine dispenser program includes provision of chlorine dispenser near the source of water , community education, and a regular supply of chlorine. DOE has verified a letter issued by WHO which states that Household water treatment technologies like chlorination of water helps in controlling outbreaks of cholera and diarrheal diseases. For its usage the , community members will go to their water source, place their bucket or Jerrican under the dispenser, turn the valve to dispense the correct amount of chlorine, and then fill the bucket as they normally would with water from the source.

The Water Supply Atlas 2010 from the Ugandan Ministry of Water and Environment was Corrective Action or clarification #1 (PP shall write a detailed and clear corrective action or further used because these data provide the most recent data on access to an improved water source available disaggregated at the sub-district level. Neither JMP nor SPR (Water & information for clarification as per finding) Environment Sector Performance Report 2014) provide similar disaggregated data at subcounty level. As shown in the ER calculation spreadsheet, the population-weighted average for all selected sub-counties is 57.1%. In addition, the dispenser-weighted average was calculated, resulting in 59.6%. The SPR provides numbers for rural access rates on district level for Manafwa (56%) and Mbale (63%) – in average below 60%. Hence, both calculations based on the Water Supply Atlas as well as the SPR suggest a Case 1 situation.

It is not clear what are the justification for choosing Refill% as 100% and Refill# as 10 in calculating QPWy .Please justify giving suitable evidences that these values are the most conservative.
It is not clear how the value of households /dispenser for dry and wet seasons have been determined in the tab “ Calculation II” the Spreadsheet and CPA-DD does not have any details on the same. Secondly why the value of households /dispenser determined during baseline survey assessment has not been used for calculating baseline emissions. In spreadsheet some of the cells are linked incorrectly e.g. B42 & B51 cells of “Reliability HWTS” Tab of Baseline data CPA 3. Please check all the spreadsheets for linkages and cell values. For the sake of conservativeness and in order to be consistent with CPA 2, Refill% has been changed to 95% and Refill# to 9. CPA-DD and ER calculation spreadsheet have been updated accordingly. The average number of households per dispenser was determined based on the most recent dispenser database for CPA 3 (150123_Dispensers CPA 3). Baseline data is only used for determining the stove efficiency. Relevant text has been added to the CPA-DD (parameter POPP). The “Reliability HWTS” Tab of Baseline data CPA 3 has been updated accordingly. Refill% and Refill# have been appended to 95% and 09.. As a result of the ER calculations /dispenser/Year gets reduced to 47.1 TCo2e/dispenser , DOE confirms the values are now most conservative and appropriate.
