2 CDM Executive Board page 2 SECTION A. General description of small scale CDM programme activity (CPA) A.1. Title of the small-scale CPA: Distribution of Improved Cook Stoves in Sub-Saharan in Senegal CPA-001 Version 1 17/04/2012 A.2. Description of the small-scale CPA: The proposed small-scale CPA involves the promotion and distribution of up to 11,580 domestic fuelefficient improved cook stoves (ICS) in Senegal. The ICS disseminated through this programme will replace the prevailing inefficient three-stone fires or traditional pot support with stoves which combust wood more efficiently and improve thermal transfer to pots, hence saving fuel and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The ICS to be employed under this SSC-CPA is the Ecozoom Dura with skirt which substantially reduces fuel consumption and emissions for conducting cooking and water heating tasks in homes. The ICS improve the efficiency of combustion and thermal transfer to the pot compared with a traditional pot support or three-stone fire by incorporating a number of cutting edge technologies, including one or more of; a rocket elbow ; a highly-insulated combustion chamber which provides a conducive environment for clean and efficient combustion of wood. It substantially reduces wood fuel consumption compared with a three-stone fire or traditional pot support. The ICS and the entire CPA complies with all of the eligibility criteria as stated in Section B.2 below. The table below provides additional information on the EcoZoom Dura stove with skirt, which may be marketed under the brand name/s to be defined under this SSC-CPA. The ICS model feature a painted sheet metal body, ceramic insulation, refractory combustion chamber, kiln-fired bottom tile, plastic and steel handle and an universal cast iron stove top. Technical Specifications EcoZoom Dura with skirt (model ZD-WMC26) Thermal efficiency 38% Size (stove) Depth: 27.3cm Height: 29.2cm Size (stove top) Diameter: 26 cm Weight 9.75 Kg This CPA is only replacing wood-fuel stoves, not charcoal stoves.

3 CDM Executive Board page 3 Figure 1 below shows the Ecozoom Dura stove C-Quest Capital Malaysia Global Stoves Limited (CQC) is the Coordinating / Managing Entity (CME) for the POA In which this CPA is to be included. Sénégal Ecovillage Micro-Finance Fund (SEM) will implement this CPA - hence acting as the CPA Implementer of this CPA. SEM will manage and coordinate activities of local partners, the promotion and distribution of the ICS and also provide all necessary marketing and promotion assistance to partners. SEM is also responsible for monitoring activities of this CPA. EcoZoom Dura stoves will be distributed on a commercial and non-commercial basis. Carbon finance will be used to facilitate the purchase, distribution and marketing of stoves, and will enable the provision of the ICS at low/no cost to households; without carbon finance, these activities would not take place. The end user will be informed that carbon finance is being generated by the use of the ICS, and this finance is in turn used to facilitate the access to ICS (eg. subsidize the price of the ICS) and helps to cover project implementation costs. The ICS customer will provide their name, location/address and contact details (if available) and confirm that the use of the ICS transfers rights to the CERs generated by the ICS to the CME. This agreement will be recorded on a registration card (through paper or electronic means such as Information and Communication Technologies ICT ), or be submitted in a SMS text message by the end user. The ICS model, unique stove serial number and date of distribution will also be collected through these mechanisms. This information will be stored by the Project Implementer in hard copy and in an electronic data management system, or monitoring database, and backed up by the CME, in order to ensure no double counting of ICS. According to an ex-ante calculation, the proposed CPA will contribute to an emissions reduction equivalent to 45,708 tonnes of CO2 per annum. The CPA will not exceed a total of 180 GWhth/yr of thermal energy savings. The proposed CPA contributes to the sustainable development of the Senegalese economy in a number of ways: i. Environmental The CPA will help significantly reduce Senegal s greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetime. The CPA will help reduce the use of non-renewable biomass from n forests, thus assist in conserving existing forest stock and the protection of natural forest eco-systems and wildlife habitats. The protection of standing forests will also help protect watersheds that regulate water table levels and prevent flash flooding.

4 CDM Executive Board page 4 ii. Social Considerably less time will need to be spent collecting wood fuel for the family home thereby reducing the work burden on rural families and presenting alternative opportunities for economic development The amount of indoor pollutants from the burning of biomass in the family home will be reduced. Less carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulates will be emitted due to the decrease in total biomass burned and an increase in the temperature of combustion. The stove provides a safer method for combusting biomass for cooking, helping to reduce burn injuries, especially for children, in the family home iii. Economic The CPA will help develop a section of the Senegal s rural economy; in the local assembly, distribution, maintenance and monitoring activities. Household expenditures on cooking fuel will be reduced through the use of the ICS Saved household labour can be diverted to more productive economic activities. Strengthening the employee base of partner organizations and creation of direct local employment opportunities in operational and management roles, as well as future assembly and/or manufacturing initiatives. The proposed CPA will deliver a long-term, secure and simple contribution to sustainable development in Senegal that, without carbon finance, would not exist. A.3. Entity/individual responsible for the small-scale CPA: CQC as CME of the SSC-POA will manage and coordinate activities of the CPA implementers and also provide necessary marketing and promotion assistance to the businesses. The CME will also coordinate the monitoring of the SSC-PoA and all the communications with the UNFCCC Executive Board. The CPA Implementer for this CPA is a local NGO called Sénégal Ecovillage Micro-Finance Fund (SEM). SEM will thereby manage and coordinate the promotion, distribution and/or installation of the ICS in Senegal. SEM is also responsible for monitoring activities of the SSC-CPAs. SEM will market ICS directly to consumers through direct sales at local markets days and other large community events. A.4. Technical description of the small-scale CPA: A.4.1. Identification of the small-scale CPA: Improved Cook Stoves Program for Senegal CPA-001 A Host Party: Republic of Senegal

5 CDM Executive Board page 5 A Geographic reference or other means of identification allowing the unique identification of the small-scale CPA (maximum one page): The CPA will take place in Senegal. As outlined in the Section A.4.2 of the SSC-PoA-DD CPAs will be defined as the sum of identified locations of in-use ICS installed or distributed to consumers previously using three stone fires or traditional pot supports, based on the detailed sales or registration record described above (ie. Registration Card). The sum of the location of these ICS will define the spatial boundary of the SSC-CPA, which in turn will fall entirety within the geographical boundary of the SSC- PoA. As a result, the boundaries described below may include multiple CPAs from the proposed PoA. Senegal, Northern Point Latitude: 16 41'24.16"N Longitude: 14 58'20.84"W Senegal, Western Point Latitude: 14 44'50.16"N Longitude: 17 31'13.91"W Senegal, Eastern Point Latitude: 12 57'37.59"N Longitude: 11 20'53.81"W Senegal, Southern Point Latitude: 12 19'7.32"N Longitude: 12 20'48.06"W A.4.2.

Public funding of the CPA: No public funding from Annex I parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is expected for this CPA, however if such funding takes place, it is ensured that it is not a diversion of ODA Official Development Assistance (ODA) 3. 3 Official development assistance (ODA) is defined in the OECD Glossary of Statistical Terms as follows: Flows of official financing administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as the main objective, and which are concessional in character with a grant element of at least 25 percent (using a fixed 10 percent rate of discount). By convention, ODA flows comprise contributions of donor government agencies, at all levels, to developing countries ("bilateral ODA") and to multilateral institutions. ODA receipts comprise disbursements by bilateral donors and multilateral institutions (OECD Glossary of Statistical Terms)

7 CDM Executive Board page 7 A.4.6. Information to confirm that the proposed small-scale CPA is not a de-bundled component According to the Guidelines on assessment of de-bundling for SSC project activities (version 03) published as annex 13 of the meeting report of EB 54 the CPA is exempted from performing a debundling check i.e. considered as being not a de-bundled component of a large scale activity if the following condition applies: 10. If each of the independent subsystems/measures (e.g. biogas digester, solar home system) included in the CPA of a PoA is no greater than 1% of the small scale thresholds defined by the methodology applied, then that CPA of PoA is exempted from performing de-bundling check i.e. considered as being not a de-bundled component of a large scale activity Each of the improved cook stoves included in the CPA is not greater than 1% of the small-scale threshold of 1.8 GWh thermal energy savings. The ICS distributed under this CPA do not exceed 1.8 GWh thermal energy savings. The thermal energy savings of the ICS is approximately 10 MWh/y 4. Hence, the condition is fulfilled. A.4.7. Confirmation that small-scale CPA is neither registered as an individual CDM project activity or is part of another Registered PoA: The proposed CPA is neither registered as an individual CDM project nor is part of another registered PoA. The proposed CPA has the potential for boundaries to overlap with other CPAs, however any individual household in the proposed CPA will only represent a single independent subsystem/measure (stove) in this CPA: it will be confirmed through the monitoring process that each household is not already involved in any other CPA or CDM project involving the distribution and/or installation of ICS (as outlined in section A of PoA defining eligibility criteria for inclusion of CPAs). In addition, each CPA will be cross-checked with other CPAs in this PoA and with CPAs in any other PoA or in a CDM project activity operating in the country using the UNFCCC, the Gold Standard, and other relevant voluntary carbon schemes to ensure that the CPA is not included in any other PoA, CDM project activity or voluntary carbon project activity. 4 This is demonstrated on the spreadsheet with CER calculations provided to the DOE

8 CDM Executive Board page 8 SECTION B. Eligibility of small-scale CPA and Estimation of emissions reductions B.1. Title and reference of the Registered PoA to which small-scale CPA is added: Distribution of Improved Cook Stoves in Sub-Saharan B.2. PoA: Justification of the why the small-scale CPA is eligible to be included in the Registered The proposed SSC-CPA is deemed to be eligible for inclusion in the PoA when the criteria set out in section A of the SSC-PoA-DD are met. This SSC-CPA: Eligibility Criteria 1. Promote and install / distribute ICS in/to residential households in rural, peri-urban and urban areas that use wood or charcoal fuel following the SSC-PoA specifications 5 ; 2. Be implemented within the geographical boundary of a country that is specifically eligible under this PoA; 3. Have a maximum energy saving of 180 GWHth/ year or, if the microscale approach is used, a maximum of 60 GWHth/year 6 (as stated "Guidelines for demonstrating additionality of microscale project activities as per EB63, Annex 23, version 3, paragraph 3) throughout the Improved Cook Stoves Program for Senegal CPA-001 This CPA will only distribute the EcoZoom Dura stove, which testing shows has an efficiency of 38%, a significant improvement over traditional technologies used for cooking. Testing results that show this efficiency level have been provided to the validator. This can also be verified through spot checks in the field using data from the database. The CPA implementer self-declares that all stoves will be sold within the boundary of Senegal. This can also be verified through spot checks in the field using data from the database. The number of stoves in this CPA has been limited to 11,580 stoves, each one saving a tiny fraction of one GWHth/yr. Together the stoves energy savings is less than 180 GWHth/yr. A separate Excel spreadsheet providing this information has been provided to the validator. All stoves distributed 5 The CME will not certify or test any specific organization (CPA implementer), but it reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to chose CPA implementers based on its track-record and ability to successfully distribute and monitor ICSs. As per eligibility criterion #11, it will require the stove/s used in a particular CPA meets minimum efficiency criteria. The proof of this can be a Water Boiling Test result for the stove model/s identified in the CPA. 6 As per Annex 23 of the 63rd meeting of the CDM Executive Board, GUIDELINES FOR DEMONSTRATING ADDITIONALITY OF MICROSCALE PROJECT ACTIVITIES (version 3), projects are considered additional if energy efficiency project activities achieve energy-savings at a scale of no more than 20 GWH and if the geographic location of the project activity is an LDC (least developed country), SIDS or special underdeveloped zone of the host country identified by the government before 28 May 2010 or if both conditions under 3(b) of the GUIDELINES are fulfilled. Some of the countries under this POA are LDCs and as such, each CPA is considered additional provided that the CPA achieves no more than 20 GWHe of savings per year, which translates to 60 GWHth/yr. The conversion from 20 GWHe to 60 GWHth per year was approved in a clarification by the small-scale working group (SSC_233). Thus, if the complies with eligibility criterion 3 (not exceeding 60GWHth, and is located within an LDC, SIDS or special underdeveloped zone of the host country identified by the government before 28 May 2010, the CPA is considered additional.

9 CDM Executive Board page 9 CPA's crediting period; 4. Have a database that will uniquely identify and define households in which ICS have been installed or distributed. In addition, each stove itself will be uniquely identified with a serial number clearly starting with "CQC-SSA"; 5. Comply with the applicability conditions and other requirements set out in the methodology AMS II.G version 3 Energy efficiency measures in thermal editions of non-renewable biomass"; under the CPA will be shown on the project database. Any ICS that takes the CPA over the 180GWHth threshold will be excluded from the ER calculations. A project database is being developed. This database will include all the information contained on the Registration Card (or ICT/SMS) - including the serial number starting with "CQC-SSA". The database will be sortable by customer name, contact details (if available), stove model, date of purchase, retailer/distributer, serial number and be available to the DOE upon each verification The baseline analysis is described in Annex III and closely follows the methodology's surveying requirements for precision and confidence factor. The household fuel survey has been provided to the validator. The monitoring procedure has been clearly outlined in the monitoring sections of this CPA. 6. Do not involve households already involved in any other CPA or CDM project involving the distribution or installation of ICS; 7. Not be registered as individual CDM project activities nor included in another registered SSC-PoA, as well as in any other voluntary scheme (such as Gold Standard, VCS, VER+); Each ICS in each SSC-CPA included in this PoA will be identified by a unique combination of customer name and geographical location, as well as a unique serial number. The serial number will start with an identifier CQC-SSA which will allow for a clear distinction between the stoves from this PoA with those of other potential PoAs. No individual serial number can be in more than one CPA, so it will not be possible for one stove to be counted in two different CPAs. In addition, each CPA will be cross-checked with other CPAs in this PoA and with CPAs in any other PoA or in a CDM project activity operating in the country using the UNFCCC, the Gold Standard, and other relevant voluntary schemes to ensure that the CPA is not included in any other PoA, CDM project activity or voluntary project activity. At time of inclusion of this CPA, no other CPA using the same name was found in any other PoA or in a CDM project activity operating in the country using the UNFCCC, the Gold Standard, and other relevant voluntary schemes. The search was conducted by the CME via web on the relevant websites of the registries. 8. Be approved by the CME prior to its CQC has self-declared that this CPA is approved

10 CDM Executive Board page 10 incorporation into the SSC-PoA; 9. Be able to provide documentary evidence of the start date 7 ; by the CME. A self-declaration was provided to the validator. A self-declaration from CPA Implementer was provided to the validator stating that the start date of the CPA will be the latest of 01 May 2012 or when the first stove is distributed and registered in the database - evidence can be provided to the validator. 10. Affirm that no funding is coming from Annex I parties or if it does, that this is not a diversion of Official Development Assistance (ODA); 11. Ensure that the ICS installed/distributed under the CPA are single pot or multi pot portable or in-situ cook stoves with specified efficiency of at least 20%. The efficiency of the project systems (ICS) are certified by a national standards body or an appropriate certifying agency recognized by it (using the WBT outlined in AMS IIG, Version 3 approved by the CDM Executive Board). Alternatively manufacturers specifications may be used; 12. Use data from the household fuel survey of the PoA-DD) for the country which is specifically eligible under this POA; 13. Use the national average non-renewable biomass (NRB) fraction as outlined in the PoA-DD or develop their own regional level NRB survey in accordance with AMS II.G (version 3). An NRB survey done on a regional level must limit the geographic scope of the CPA to the particular region relevant to that NRB analysis; 14. Ensure that the CPA meets the criterion for not being a de-bundled component of a larger project activity (e.g.: the debundling rule does not apply if the ICS as an the Letters provided to the validator show that investment finance for this first CPA is coming from the private sector and their incentive in participating in the program is based on the project's ability to generate and sell CERs. This CPA will introduce the EcoZoom stove, which testing has revealed to have an efficiency of 38%, much higher than the minimum as set out in this criterion. The testing results have been provided to the validator. This CPA is for the distribution of wood fuel ICS in Senegal and uses data from household fuel survey as outlined in the PoA-DD. Baseline report was provided to the DOE. The CME commissioned a national and regional NRB study form C4 EcoSolutions (an independent third party). The NRB for Senegal is estimated though the survey/analysis to be This survey and its methodology have been provided to the validator. Each of the improved cook stoves included in the CPA is not greater than 1% of the small-scale threshold of 1.8 GWh thermal energy savings. 7 The starting date of a CPA could either be the date of first installation of a stove or the date of sale of the first stove in each CPA, as evidenced by the Registration Card, SMS or ITC entries.

11 CDM Executive Board page 11 independent subsystem, does not exceed 1% of the SSC threshold of 180 GWH th, as per guidance EB54 Annex 13 paragraph 10). Or if the microscale approach is used, the stove cannot exceed 1% of the 60 GWh th as defined by the guidelines for demonstration additionality of microscale project activities (version 03) and SSC WG Clarification SSC_233; 15. Include a mechanism that transfers the ownership rights of CERs from the ICS user to the CME (or any affiliate it so designates), the precise mechanism to be established on a CPA basis. For example, a Registration Card, SMS, ICT or other means, which is signed or received by the end-user upon distribution or installation of the ICS, which shall state that the end-user transfers ownership of the carbon assets to the CME for the life of the stove; 16. Adhere to all requirements related to sampling for a PoA in accordance with the approved standard (EB65, Annex 2); 17. Involve the promotion and distribution of ICS through direct distribution/installation, delivery, community sales events, direct sales or sales through commercial/retail outlets; The thermal energy savings of the ICS distributed under this CPA is approximately 10 MWh/y. Separate Excel spreadsheet has been provided to the validator The CPA requires that CPA Implementer collect user data using a Registration Card. Sales Team will be instructed to read the transfer ownership of the carbon assets to the end-user and tick a box next to this paragraph to confirm that the user acknowledge that by purchasing the ICS, it is transferring the carbon rights to the CME. This CPA follows all of the requirements for EB65, Annex 2. Details are provided in the monitoring sections and in Annex 3. This CPA will distribute ICS on a commercial and non- commercial basis to end-users through the CPA Implementers sales team, direct distribution, community events and commercial retailers. This CPA therefore meets the eligibility criteria for inclusion set out in the SSC-PoA-DD. B.3. Assessment and demonstration of additionality of the small-scale CPA, as per eligibility criteria listed in the Registered PoA: This SSC-CPA is limited to the small-scale threshold of 180GWHth hence it shall demonstrate the additionality using the Small-Scale Approach given in the Section A.4.3 of the PoA-DD. Additionality of the small scale CDM Project can be demonstrated by showing that the Project would not occurred due to existence of investment barriers. Description of the barrier at PoA level is provided in section A.4.3. The arguments presented therein are also prevalent in the SSC-CPA Project area. Hence, the SSC-CPA need not re-write the arguments presented therein to support CPA additionality, as, in accordance with EB55 Annex 38 para 6.g 8, the assessment of additionality of each SSC-CPA to this PoA shall be evaluated on the basis that if the proposed SSC-CPA meet the key criteria and data stipulated in section E.5.2. of the PoA, the SSC-CPA shall be deemed additional. 8 ( definition of eligibility criteria for inclusion of a project activity as a CPA und PoA, which shall include, as appropriate, criteria for demonstration of additionality of the CPA and the type [ ] of information [ ] that [ ] shall be provided by each CPA in order to ensure its eligibility)

12 CDM Executive Board page 12 The above Section B.2 of this SSC-CPA-DD demonstrates how this CPA meets the eligibility criteria demonstrated in section A of the PoA (specifically criteria 1, 3, 10 and 13) hence, SSC-CPA shall be deemed additional. B.4. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary and proof that the small-scale CPA is located within the geographical boundary of the registered PoA. The PoA has a boundary of the geographic borders of the following countries: Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana and Zambia. The GPS coordinates provide evidence that the proposed SSC-CPA is located in Senegal. Summary of gases and sources included in the project boundary and justification/explanation where the gases and sources are not included: Baseline Project Activity Source Gas Included?

Note, for ICS installed in prior monitoring periods t y, j = 1. Total number of days in the monitoring period y J y For the purposes of calculating ex-ante emission reductions a baseline adjustment factor has been applied to B old to account for fuel-wood used in a second stove for the 54.9% of households in the baseline study who reported using a second stove at least once per week. This baseline adjustment factor is based on the mean number of stoves used per household across the entire baseline sample, calculated to be 1.10 stoves/household, and equates to 1/1.10 = The value of B old applied in this PoA-DD for wood fuel baseline stoves (13.87kg/day) incorporates this 0.91 baseline adjustment factor. The percentage of households continuing to use a baseline stove in addition to an ICS will be monitored. The monitored percentage of ICS users continuing to use a baseline stove in addition to the ICS (SS y ) will be compared to the ex-ante percentage found in the baseline (54.9%) and B old will be adjusted proportionally based on the proportional change in the percentage. The parameter used to calculate expost B y,savings will be B old, adjusted. This procedure is outlined here: ) + n % B y,savings = B old,adjusted. N 1 η old + y,i % + i =1 % η $ new,i Where: * # &, (. (. (. '-

Where B old, adjusted is calculated as outlined in Option 2 above. As specified in the AMS II.G (version 3) methodology, B old is determined by using one of the following two options: i. Calculated as the product of the number of systems multiplied by the estimated average annual consumption of woody biomass per appliance (tonnes/year). This can be derived from historical data or a survey of local usage, Or ii. Calculated from the thermal energy generated in the project activity as: B old HG = NCV p,y biomass * η old The project proponents select option (i) directly above to determine B old. For each SSC-CPA, certain parameters indicated in the methodology for the calculation of emissions are fixed. Default values have been selected for the following parameters: 1. NCVbiomass The IPCC default value is selected, as indicated in the methodology (0.015 TJ/tonne) put in unit 2. EFprojected_fossilfuel The IPCC default value is selected (81.6 TCO2/TJ) 3. ηold, appliance The Methodology default value for 3-stone fires and traditional pot supports is selected (0.10 if Option 2 is used) 4. The 0.95 leakage adjustment factor is applied in line with AMS II.G version 3 5. For conversion from charcoal to wood, project participants can use an IPCC default of 6:1. For example, if one tonne of charcoal were used in the baseline household survey, for the calculation of B old would equal six tonnes.

Application of the monitoring methodology and description of the monitoring plan: B.6.1. Description of the monitoring plan: CPA will be monitored by CPA implementers according to the monitoring plan outlined in Annex 4. The following parameters will be monitored for this SSC-CPA. Data / Parameter Unit Description Source of data Value of data applied for the purpose of calculating expected emission reductions in Section B.5 Description of measurement methods and procedures to be applied QA/QC procedures to n y,j Quantity Number of stoves still in operation during the monitoring period as determined by the monitoring survey. This includes total number of stoves distributed in the entire CPA. ICS registration data plus survey of Random Sample Group (RSG) For the purposes of calculating ex-ante emission reductions, assumption is 11,580 stoves based on the first CPA. The percentage of stoves in the RSG still in operation in the monitoring period compared to the total number of stoves distributed in each CPA (according to the ICS registration records in the monitoring database) will be assessed. Stoves in operation in the RSG will be counted during each monitoring period to derive a drop-out rate (expressed as a percentage) and this percentage deduction will be applied to the total number of stoves for each CPA. If, based on the sample size selected in any monitoring period, the precision/accuracy requirements set out in EB65 Annex 3 are not achieved; project implementers will then increase the sample size until the required level of precision/accuracy is met. The unique reference number of each stove shall be logged in the monitoring

The fraction will be calculated by dividing the number of days from the registration date of the stove until the end of the monitoring period by the total number of days in the monitoring period. The unique reference number of each stove shall be logged in the monitoring database. The date of registration shall be utilized to determine the portion of the monitoring period that the stove has been in operation. Any interruption in the stoves operation (e.g. where stoves are replaced or drop out) this will register as missed operating time in the monitoring database for emissions calculation purposes.

Results from the test will be crosschecked with literature values and specifications from the manufacturer. The WBT Protocol 3.0 or a more recent version will be used at CME discretion. See section E.7.2 of the PoA-DD for more detail on monitoring procedures SS y Percentage The percentage of ongoing baseline stove use within the population of in-use ICS during a monitoring period. Monitoring of ongoing baseline stove use will be undertaken using the sampling approach outlined in section E.7.2 of the PoA-DD (to meet EB65 Annex 2 confidence/precision requirements). This will be a monitored parameter, so will only be available ex-post. A survey will be conducted asking households if they use a second (baseline) stove at least once per week, as per the monitoring plan outlined in the PoA- DD. SS y will be calculated in each monitoring period as follows: the number of sampled households with in-use ICS that also continue to use a baseline stove divided by the total number of in-use ICS in the sample. Data for this parameter will be collected using the same survey for the parameter ny,i (in-use appliances). Internal cross-checks by the CME or project implementer will be undertaken as QC.

FNRB is calculated as NRB/By, i.e. 5,401 / 5,904 = BASELINE FUEL SURVEY: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Senegal Baseline Fuel Use Survey carried out in three locations during December February The aims of the survey were to: Estimate the average amount of wood fuel used per stove per day in rural households (kg/stove/day) including accounting for seasonal variation and multiple stove use; Investigate the differences in wood fuel consumption between geographical zones (i.e. the degree of homogeneity); and Gather further data to validate findings and inform successful implementation. The study is further to a request from C Quest Capital LLC to conduct a baseline fuel consumption survey of wood-burning rural households in Senegal. Methodology

27 CDM Executive Board page 27 The report describes the sampling methodology; presents the questionnaire and other methods for in-field measurement; and outlines analysis of the dataset including QA, cleaning, assessing variability, and determining the precision of the means. The annexes present the survey tool used both in English and French (the language of implementation), as well as further detail on some of the key calculations. The sampling strategy was designed in such a way as to be representative of the different climatic and economic aspects of the country. A literature review and consultation revealed two main clusters: a southern zone characterised by low rainfall and a surplus of wood; and a northerly zone characterised by high rainfall and wood-supply deficit. After cleaning and removal of outliers, two minor adjustments were made to the data: the first to account for reported seasonal variation in wood fuel consumption (resulting in a slight increase in the baseline); the second to account for the simultaneous use of multiple stoves (resulting in a slight decrease in the baseline). Key results Analysis of the data collected from the two clusters concludes that there is no significant difference between their mean reported household wood fuel consumption, and that collectively they can be seen as representative of the country as a whole. Therefore, the final analysis is undertaken on a national dataset. The impact of reported space heating was investigated but found to be statistically insignificant. A number of further quality checks were undertaken which were found to validate the data and reported trends. The mean baseline household wood fuel consumption across the whole of Senegal is estimated by this study to be kg/day/stove. The data for calculating this meets the precision requirements of the AMS IIG methodology (90/10), including for homogenous Programme of Activities (PoA) (95/10). The study and analysis were planned and executed to conform to the EB 65 Annex 2 guidance.
