Information for Project Developers
W+ Standard certification requires organisations / project developers to have their project results independently verified by an accredited verifier. This independent verification is critical to ensuring the integrity of the project' registered with the W+ Programme.
The verification process involves a review of all project design documentation, consultation with key stakeholders including the women participating in project activities, site visits and can be undertaken in person and on line.
The cost of verification is dependent on the level, nature and extent of project activities in terms of number of W+ domains applied, number of participants involved and stakeholders to be engaged, agreed between SAN and the project implementer before the provision of verification services.
For information and planning purposes, and as a guide only, verification costs typically start from £10,500 GBP for verification for 1 W+ Standard domain. Verification for W+ Standard certification is valid for 3 years.
