Opportunity Summary:
The "Child Labor Reduction and Prevention in Tunisia" item is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB). It is not an open grant solicitation and it does not invite proposals from the public. No applications are being accepted because USDOL is signaling its intent, subject to funds being available, to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition.
The planned award would be made to the International Labor Organization (ILO) based on a sole-source rationale. The cited authority is USDOL Manual Series (DLMS) 2-836 G.3, which allows limited-competition or non-competitive awards when services are available from only one responsible source and no substitute will suffice, or when the intended recipient has unique qualifications for the activity being funded. In practical terms, this means USDOL views ILO as uniquely positioned to implement this child labor-focused work in Tunisia.
The purpose of the project is to strengthen Tunisia's capacity to prevent and reduce child labor, with an emphasis on hazardous child labor and systems-level improvements. The scope described includes four main components. First, the project would conduct awareness-raising on the hazards associated with child labor and on legal prohibitions against it, aiming to increase understanding among communities, employers, families, and relevant stakeholders. Second, it would focus on capacity building to identify and address gaps in child labor protections, looking not only at the legal framework but also at how laws are enforced and how social protection programs do or do not reach vulnerable children and households. Third, it would provide training intended to improve enforcement of laws and implementation of policies tied to child labor reduction, suggesting work with labor inspectors, enforcement entities, and other officials responsible for applying protections in practice. Fourth, the project would pilot service coordination programs in rural areas where child labor is more prevalent, with the goal of creating a replicable model for preventing children from entering hazardous work or for removing and referring them to appropriate services when they are already engaged in it.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement by the funder in shaping or overseeing the work compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" (with additional explanation implied in the original listing), and the CFDA number referenced is 17.401. The agency is listed as DOL-ETA-ILAB. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is USD 3,000,000.
The notice was created and posted on May 20, 2016, with a listed closing date of June 11, 2016. That date functions more like an administrative posting window rather than a proposal deadline, since the notice explicitly states there is no announcement associated with it and no applications will be accepted. Overall, this entry should be read as an advance public disclosure of USDOL's intent to fund a specific partner (ILO) for a Tunisia child labor reduction initiative centered on awareness, policy and enforcement capacity, training, and rural service coordination pilots.
