Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent for Project to Reduce Child Labor in Haiti (Funding Opportunity Number: NOI 01 HAITI) is an advance public notice that the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), specifically the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), plans to release a future competitive funding announcement. It is important to treat this document as informational only: it is not an application package, it does not request proposals, and it does not contain the full technical or administrative requirements that would normally appear in a formal solicitation. In other words, no one can apply under this Notice of Intent itself, because the actual opportunity would come later through a separate Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCA).
The planned purpose of the future funding is to support Haiti in reducing child labor while also improving labor rights and working conditions, with a geographic focus on Haiti's North East Department. USDOL indicates it expects to make one or more awards, assuming funds are available, and that the awards would be issued as cooperative agreements rather than standard grants. A cooperative agreement typically means USDOL anticipates having a more active role in the project’s implementation or oversight compared to a traditional grant, though the exact nature of that involvement would be spelled out in the later SCA.
USDOL anticipated publishing the formal SCA around April 2014, noting that the timing could change. The Notice directs interested organizations to monitor www.grants.gov, because that is the official channel where the SCA would be posted and made publicly available. The agency explicitly states that email or paper copies of the solicitation will not be distributed, so organizations are expected to track the posting themselves and obtain the full materials directly through the federal portal once released.
The Notice provides broad eligibility guidance ahead of the formal solicitation. It indicates that a wide range of organizations may be eligible, including commercial entities, international organizations, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations. It also explicitly includes faith-based and community-based organizations, as well as public international organizations, as long as they can demonstrate the capability to reduce children’s participation in child labor and promote labor rights. It also clarifies that not having prior experience with USDOL cooperative agreements, grants, or contracts does not automatically disqualify an organization, which signals that new applicants are welcome if they can meet the eventual program and compliance expectations.
Several listing fields in the Notice reflect that this is not the final funding announcement. For example, the award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated in the Notice. These fields should not be read as the final funding structure; rather, they reflect that the actual award amounts, performance periods, deliverables, and detailed budget rules would be provided later in the SCA. The opportunity is categorized under Employment, Labor and Training, and it carries a CFDA listing of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), again suggesting this is a placeholder-style announcement rather than a fully defined program solicitation.
Key dates shown include a posted date of February 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2014. In practice, because this is a Notice of Intent and not a solicitation requesting applications, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative end date for the notice posting rather than a deadline for submitting proposals. The real deadline that matters would be the application deadline specified in the eventual SCA once it is released on grants.gov.
For organizations preparing in advance, the Notice points to general USDOL ILAB grant guidance and example SCAs hosted on the Department of Labor website. These resources can help potential applicants understand typical ILAB expectations, such as program design, monitoring and evaluation approaches, partnership structures, and standard U.S. government compliance requirements that often accompany cooperative agreements. While these references do not replace the future SCA, they are meant to help organizations start thinking about what a compliant, competitive application might look like once the formal solicitation is issued.
Finally, the Notice provides a point of contact for access issues rather than programmatic questions. If an organization has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Katima Wilson, Grant Specialist, via ops.grantoffice@dol.gov. The additional information link points to the ILAB website, reinforcing that the authoritative next step for applicants is to watch for the formal SCA release and then follow the instructions in that document.
