CCF Afro-Asian Community Energy Challenge Project

The Afro-Asian Community Energy Challenge project funded by Government’s Climate Challenge Fund (CCF) is currently underway in Aberdeen through the Aberdeen Multicultural Centre. The aim of the project lies in reducing carbon emission through raising awareness and changing behaviour on energy efficiency measures within Afro-Asian communities. The project has so far shown to be very successful among participating communities in Aberdeen.

The main factor behind the success of this project lies in the strong link and trust among these communities with Aberdeen Multicultural Centre and the professional technical support from Home Energy Scotland (HES). Partnership with HES has given us the expertise to build our reputation and inspire trust among hard to reach communities, providing technical support and delivering effective and efficient demonstration on energy saving measures along with providing web portal referral systems. Concurrently, we have managed to address and involve hard to reach communities who have never participated before this joint partnership programme.
