Therefore, the scheme does not yet create direct, attributable offsets for environmental impacts on a “like-for-like basis”. Furthermore, while the monitoring, reporting and evaluation of projects on an individual basis is relatively detailed, the overall reporting and evaluation of the scheme is limited, resulting in reporting restricted to broad metrics such as hectares compensated and funds disbursed, without the ability to measure and assess in more detail the effectiveness and performance of the programme. In particular, the scheme design has resulted in an insufficient supply of compensation and restoration projects, as the application to the funds are voluntary and limited local technical capacities or awareness of the scheme often results in an imbalance on the location where the supply exists and the location of the funds available to compensate.
