Description

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is not a request for funding applications. Subject to the availability of funds, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), will award a cooperative agreement for a project to reduce the worst forms of child labor in the home-based production of carpets in Afghanistan by designing and piloting a sustainable social compliance system in collaboration with at least one partner company. The project funded as a result of this cooperative agreement will focus on addressing child labor in at least one district of Afghanistan in which there is evidence of a high prevalence of child labor in home-based carpet weaving workplaces. The Office of Procurement Services (OPS) anticipates publishing the Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) on or about May 31, 2013 (this date is subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ILAB/grants/main.htm and http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/SGAguidelines.htm for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This NOI does not include an SGA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL's intent to publish an SGA at a later date. Interested applications are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the SGA, as this is the method by which it will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies will be provided.
