Document history

Document, version, and methodology history

This methodology has undergone independent public and private feedback since its inception. Several certification bodies have considered adopting it and they will adapt it for use within their crediting frameworks leading to "forks". The Savimbo version remains publically available, with expanded sections for projects not seeking accreditation, or using the methodology for outcomes tracking or MRV alone.
