Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive

credit:

process, one cooperative agreement(s) to an organization(s) to reduce child labor in mica-producing communities of Madagascar.

The project will aim to achieve the following three outcomes:
(1) increased resiliency of members of households in mica-producing communities; (2) increased capacity of government officials to address child labor in the mica supply chain; and (3) increased engagement of non-governmental stakeholders to address child labor in the mica supply chain.

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) around July 30, 2020, and intends to make awards by November 30, 2020 (these dates are subject to change).

Please refer to:
http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/grants for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications.

This notice 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, 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.
