Bureau of International Labor Affairs

Description

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is not a request for funding applications. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive and merit-based process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to implement a project(s) in Ghana. The proposed objective of the project is to reduce exploitative child labor in the cocoa growing areas of Ghana. The project will assist cocoa growing communities to design and implement Community Action Plans (CAPs) to address exploitative child labor and will provide livelihood services to households. The project will also aid vulnerable youth, under the age of 18, to further their education and develop marketable skills to secure age appropriate, decent work. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) before the end of September 2015 (this date is subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ 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 FOA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL’s intent to publish an FOA at a later date. Interested applicants are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the FOA because this is the method by which it will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies will be provided.
