Global Evaluation and Monitoring Project
The U. S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) announces its intent to award up to $ 2. 5 million for a cooperative agreement(s) to one or more qualified organizations to (1) design and implement impact evaluations for two ILAB-funded FY 2011 projects, (2) develop
comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plans for four ILAB-funded FY 2011 projects, and (3) design and implement tracer studies to determine the status of beneficiaries in up to two previous USDOL-funded projects.
The monitoring and evaluation components to be undertaken under this cooperative agreement include the development of comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plans (CMEP) for four projects and the design and implementation of impact evaluations, including randomized control trials where possible, for two projects.
The purpose of these impact evaluations will be to quantify the impact of selected project interventions on reducing the incidence of exploitative child labor and to determine what particular types of interventions are effective.
