Grant Description

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is not a request for funding applications. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOLмs Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive and merit-based process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to implement a project(s) in C╙te dмIvoire. The proposed objective of the project is to reduce hazardous and exploitative child labor in the cocoa growing areas of C╙te dмIvoire. The project will assist cocoa growing communities to design and implement Community Action Plans (CAPs) and promote educational opportunities for children as strategies for addressing exploitative child labor. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)мs Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) before the end of September 2015 (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 USDOLмs 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.
