About the project
1. Before the implementation of the VPAs, local communities in the project location used fossil fuel and/or non-renewable biomass (Hereinafter referred to as “NRB”) to boil water for purification. Therefore, the baseline scenario is that fossil fuel and/or NRB is used to boil water as means of water purification in the absence of the project activity. As a result, water purification through boiling with wood makes local people vulnerable to the negative effects of poor indoor air quality. 2.The project is located in Cox’s Bazar District, Chittagong Division of Bangladesh. 3. The VPAs, which are the VPA 07-10 for PoA GS 10959 “Safe Water Programme in Africa and Asia” (hereinafter referred to as “the PoA”), consists of the maintenance of 139 boreholes and the number of benefited people is about 13630. 4. According to approved PDD,annual emission reduction achieved by the project activity is 10,294tCO2e.
