Overall QA/QC Progress
58% CompleteCompleteness Check
2/3All IPCC sectors covered
Verify that all 5 IPCC sectors (Energy, IPPU, Agriculture, LULUCF, Waste) have data entries.
5/5 sectors have data entries. 94% of subcategories populated.
All greenhouse gases reported
Ensure CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 are reported where applicable.
All 7 GHG gases reported. F-gas reporting covers HFC-134a and SF6.
Activity data sources documented
Check that all activity data entries have documented sources.
89% of entries have documented sources. Missing: 1.A.4.c, 1.B.1, 4.B.
Consistency Check
2/2Time series consistency (2019-2022)
Compare emission trends across the 2019-2022 time series for sudden changes.
All sectors show consistent trends. Energy sector +12% over period aligns with economic growth data.
Cross-sector consistency
Verify that fuel consumption data in Energy matches industrial data in IPPU.
Energy and IPPU fuel data reconciled. Minor discrepancy in petroleum coke (0.2%) documented.
Comparability Check
2/2IPCC 2006 Guidelines methodology alignment
Confirm all calculations follow 2006 IPCC Guidelines (with 2019 Refinement where applicable).
Methodology aligned with 2006 GL. Tier 2 applied for key categories (enteric fermentation, cement, electricity).
GWP values consistent (AR5)
Verify AR5 GWP values used throughout for CO2eq conversions.
AR5 GWP values confirmed: CH4=28, N2O=265, HFC-134a=1300.
Accuracy Check
1/3Uncertainty assessment for key categories
Quantitative uncertainty assessment performed for categories contributing >5% of total emissions.
Uncertainty ranges provided for Energy and Agriculture key categories. LULUCF uncertainty still needs quantification.
Emission factor validation
Country-specific emission factors validated against peer-reviewed literature.
Kenya-specific EFs for enteric fermentation validated against recent ILRI research. Cement EF confirmed with industry data.
Calculation verification (spot checks)
Random spot checks on 10% of calculations to verify AD x EF x GWP formulas.
Transparency Check
0/2Documentation of methodological choices
All tier selections, data sources, and assumptions documented in the NIR.
Most documentation complete. Pending: LULUCF methodology narrative and Waste sector assumptions.
Recalculation documentation
Document and explain any changes from previously submitted inventory values.
Review Comments
Dr. Amina K.
Sector Lead - Agriculture
Agriculture sector data looks solid. The Tier 2 enteric fermentation EF from ILRI research is well-documented. I approve the agriculture section.
P. Ochieng
National GHG Coordinator
Please complete the LULUCF uncertainty assessment and the recalculation documentation before we can proceed to final approval.
M. Wanjiku
QA/QC Manager
Automated Tier 1 checks have passed. Some manual checks still pending. Energy and Waste sectors need spot-check verification.
J. Kamau
Data Manager
Missing data source documentation for categories 1.A.4.c, 1.B.1, and 4.B. I've reached out to the respective ministry contacts for the reference documents.
