Project to Reduce the Exploitation of Children in the Sava Region of Madagascar (RECS)

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’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive

credit:


process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to implement a project in Madagascar.

The proposed objective of the project is to reduce child labor in the vanilla-producing areas of the Sava region of Madagascar.

The project outcomes include:
(1) vanilla exporters have significantly reduced child labor in the production of vanilla at the farm and collection levels in Sava; (2) law enforcement entities are effectively enforcing child labor laws and policies in the vanilla-producing areas of Sava, including imposing and collecting penalties and referring child labor victims to appropriate services; (3) community members are monitoring for child labor and are referring victims of child labor to the appropriate authorities and services; and (4) beneficiary households are no longer using child labor to supplement household income.

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) before the end of June 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’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.
