For more information, please see http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/displayHomePage.do and https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM.

Description: NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent (NOI). 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 project(s) to reduce child labor in Mexico, with a particular focus on agriculture in Oaxaca and one of the following states: Jalisco, Nayarit, Puebla, and Veracruz. The project will support this objective through the following long term outcomes: (1) key stakeholders respect, promote, and/or protect labor rights under the law, in particular in relation to child labor and acceptable conditions of work for those of legal working age; and (2) children and adolescents engaged in or at high risk of entering child labor and their families, as appropriate, access quality education and relevant social programs. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)&#8217;s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) around July 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, if an FOA is published, grants.gov is the method by which the FOA will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies of any FOA will be provided.
