Opportunity Summary:
The Morocco Women Worker Empowerment Project notice is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB). It is meant to alert the public that USDOL may soon fund one or more cooperative agreement projects in Morocco focused on improving gender equality in the workplace. The central idea is to provide technical assistance that strengthens relevant civil society organizations and helps women better understand and assert their labor rights. Because this is only an NOI, it is not asking for applications yet and does not include the full program requirements, budget guidance, or attachments that would normally appear in a solicitation.
USDOL indicated that, if funding became available, the Office of Procurement Services expected to release the formal Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Application (SCA) on or about June 26, 2013 (noting that the date could change). The SCA would be published on Grants.gov, and the agency specified that no email or paper copies would be distributed, meaning interested organizations would need to monitor Grants.gov for the official posting. The NOI also points applicants to ILAB grant webpages with general guidelines and sample cooperative agreement materials to help organizations understand typical expectations and application formats used by ILAB.
As presented in the source data, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, under the broader activity area of employment, labor, and training. The listing shows expected awards and funding amounts as zero at the NOI stage, which usually reflects that the government is not yet committing specific dollar figures until the SCA is released. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the notice.
Eligibility is described broadly. Commercial entities, international organizations, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations are all eligible, including faith-based and community-based organizations, as well as public international organizations, as long as they can successfully carry out the project objectives. The notice also emphasizes that not having prior experience with USDOL cooperative agreements, grants, or contracts does not disqualify an applicant, which is a helpful signal for capable organizations that may be newer to USDOL funding.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (NOI 14 MOROCCO WOMEN WORKER EMPOWERMENT), an original and current closing date listed as June 28, 2013 (which, in the context of an NOI, functions more like an administrative end date for the notice rather than a full application deadline), and an archive date of July 28, 2013. For access issues or questions about obtaining the announcement electronically, the notice provides a contact point: Helen A. Williams, Grant Specialist, reachable at ops.grantoffice@dol.gov.
