Opportunity Summary:
The NOI 6 Global Capacity Building opportunity is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), signaling that USDOL expects to release a future Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) for a cooperative agreement. The key point is that this NOI is not itself an application or a funding announcement, and it does not request proposals at this stage. Instead, it serves as an early heads-up that, if funds are available, USDOL intends to award one or more cooperative agreements to support a multi-country technical assistance project (or projects).
The planned work focuses on strengthening both national and local capacity to address child labor, including the worst forms of child labor. A major component mentioned is conducting labor inspectorate assessments, which are meant to generate clearer, more practical information about how labor inspection systems function and where gaps exist. The goal of these assessments is to improve how worker rights are monitored and enforced by helping governments and stakeholders better understand inspectorate capabilities, constraints, and needs.
USDOL indicated that the SGA was anticipated to be published on or about May 31, 2013 (noting that the date could change). Because the NOI contains no application package, attachments, or formal requirements, interested organizations are directed to monitor Grants.gov for the official SGA posting, which is the only method by which it would be made publicly available. The notice also points prospective applicants to ILAB grant resources, including general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications, to help organizations prepare for what the later SGA might require.
In terms of who may apply once the SGA is released, eligibility is broad. The notice states that commercial, international, educational, and nonprofit organizations may be eligible, including faith-based, community-based, and public international organizations, as long as they can credibly carry out capacity-building work with local and national governments related to reducing the worst forms of labor and performing labor inspectorate assessments. It also clarifies that organizations without prior USDOL cooperative agreement, grant, or contract experience are still eligible, meaning a lack of prior USDOL funding history is not a barrier.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, within the Employment, Labor and Training activity area, and it indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows award floor and ceiling as 0, which is typical for a Notice of Intent because actual funding levels and award details are usually provided later in the SGA. Key dates shown in the record include a posted date of March 21, 2013, with closing dates listed in the system record, but the practical takeaway is that applicants should rely on the forthcoming SGA for real submission deadlines and instructions.
