Description: NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent. There is not an announcement related to this notice. We are not accepting applications at this time. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL&#8217;s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to implement a monitoring and evaluation project(s). The objective of the project is to develop an M&amp;E toolkit for the Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Human Trafficking (OCFT) and their grantees. This project will help build the capacity of OCFT&#8217;s monitoring and evaluation efforts to better measure, target, monitor, and evaluate a growing portfolio of interventions. Specific sectors and cross-cutting themes to be addressed through the project are: occupational safety and health, forced labor, youth employment, labor-related technical and institutional capacity-building, gender and diversity, persons with disabilities, and migration. The M&amp;E project will address these gaps through four mutually supporting outputs: 1) assessment and research on existing methods and indicators for monitoring and evaluation in the specified OCFT project sectors and cross-cutting themes; 2) development of tools, templates, and guidelines for each sector and cross-cutting theme; 3) development of guidelines and tools for end-of-project CMEP data analysis and identification of lessons learned in the identified sectors and themes; and 4) development and implementation of a dissemination and utilization strategy for the toolkit for both OCFT staff and grantees. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)&#8217;s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) before the end of September 2016 (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&#8217;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 the FOA will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies of the FOA will be provided.
