Opportunity Summary:
The "Impact Evaluation of Child Labor Program in the Philippines" notice (Funding Opportunity Number: NOI ILAB 15 06) is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), specifically the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB). It is not an open competitive grant solicitation and not a standard funding opportunity announcement. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that ILAB planned to fund a specific set of activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition.
The intended recipient named in the notice is Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA). The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to carry out a rigorous impact evaluation of a Government of the Philippines program designed to assist families of child laborers. The evaluation approach specified is a randomized controlled trial (RCT), which is typically used to measure causal impacts by comparing outcomes for a group receiving the program to a similar group that does not, under a randomized assignment process.
The scope of work described includes designing the RCT evaluation and then implementing both quantitative and qualitative data collection. Quantitative components generally involve structured surveys and statistical measurement of outcomes, while qualitative components often include interviews, focus groups, and other methods aimed at understanding how the program operates in practice, why certain results occur, and what contextual factors shape participant experiences. The project also includes preparing, finalizing, and disseminating reports based on the evaluation findings, indicating that producing usable evidence for policymakers and stakeholders is a central deliverable.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, under the activity area of Employment, Labor and Training. The notice lists an expected single award with an estimated total funding amount of $850,000 and an award ceiling of $850,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The relevant CFDA (assistance listing) number provided is 17.401, International Labor Programs. Key dates in the notice include a posted and creation date of May 19, 2015, with an archive date of June 9, 2015. Because this is only an NOI, the closing date fields clarify that there is no application deadline and no associated open announcement.
Eligibility is not presented in the usual competitive sense, since the document explicitly states it is intended to fund the described activities without full and open competition. The notice points readers to the ILAB website for additional information, and it provides a contact for access issues and questions: Mr. Dorjan Chaney, Grants Management Specialist, at chaney.dorjan@dol.gov.
