I wanted to share the good news as Simoshi has been granted the Letter of Approval from the Designated National Authority to implement its institutional improved cook stove carbon finance project activity in Uganda.

The Designated Operational Entity (UN auditor) finished successfully the auditing site visit before Christmas, and the Draft Validation Report was provided to us. We are expecting to submit the Final Validation Report and all Project Design Documents to the Clean Development Mechanism’s Executive Board in the next week. After this is done, we have to patiently await until end of March, and if all goes well, the Project Activity will be fully registered.
