Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent for the Project to Combat Child Labor in Cambodia is an early alert from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), that it plans to fund one or more projects designed to reduce child labor in Cambodia. It is not the full solicitation itself, but a signal that a competitive, merit-based funding opportunity is forthcoming. The planned mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. ILAB indicates it expects to obligate up to $10,000,000 total for the project or projects, with an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and no required cost sharing or matching.
The core purpose of the planned awards is twofold: first, to reduce child labor by expanding educational and training opportunities for children who are currently working or at risk of entering child labor; and second, to improve the economic stability of children’s households by promoting sustainable livelihoods. The opportunity frames child labor as a problem that must be addressed both on the child side (access to schooling, training, and pathways to safer futures) and on the household side (income stability so families are less likely to rely on children’s labor). The program is positioned within the Employment, Labor, and Training funding activity category, reflecting ILAB’s mission focus on labor conditions and workforce-related interventions.
ILAB notes that projects funded under the forthcoming solicitation(s) may focus on one or more of seven strategic areas. These include: (1) Education, such as improving access, retention, or quality of schooling and related support services; (2) Livelihoods, including strengthening household income generation and economic resilience; (3) Social Protection, which can involve linking families to safety nets and services that reduce vulnerability; (4) Youth Employment, focused on preparing older youth for decent work and safer transitions into the labor market; (5) Strengthening Institutional Capacity and Policies, meaning support for government and partner institutions to enforce labor standards, improve coordination, or develop stronger policies; (6) Raising Awareness, to shift community norms and improve understanding of the harms and legal dimensions of child labor; and (7) Supporting Research, Evaluation, and the Collection of Reliable Data on Child Labor, emphasizing evidence generation and improved measurement to guide policy and programming. Applicants should expect that a competitive proposal would need to clearly define which of these areas it will address and how the chosen mix will contribute to measurable reductions in child labor.
Eligibility is broad and includes commercial entities, international organizations, educational institutions, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, and public international organizations. This wide eligibility suggests ILAB is open to a range of implementers, including organizations with on-the-ground service delivery capacity, research and evaluation expertise, education and training experience, and partnerships with Cambodian stakeholders. The notice lists the opportunity as discretionary funding with an expected number of awards of 1, although the narrative also allows for “one or more” cooperative agreements, indicating ILAB may decide to fund a single large project or multiple projects depending on the final solicitation and competitive outcomes.
Key timing details indicate the notice was posted July 31, 2012, with the related solicitation referenced as SGA #12-08 expected to be posted on August 3, 2012, on Grants.gov. The closing date shown is September 28, 2012, and the archive date is October 28, 2012. Interested applicants are directed to monitor Grants.gov for the full announcement and requirements. For access issues or assistance, the notice provides grant officer contacts: Brenda J.
