Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of International Labor Affairs (USDOL/ILAB) issued a Notice of Intent for a competitive grant opportunity focused on reducing child labor in Tanzania. Through one or more cooperative agreements, ILAB planned to fund projects that directly help children who are engaged in or at risk of child labor by expanding access to education and training, while also improving the economic stability of their households so families are less likely to rely on a child's work for survival. The total amount ILAB intended to make available was up to $10,000,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
The planned projects were expected to align with one or more of several strategic areas, giving applicants flexibility to propose a comprehensive approach or targeted interventions. These areas included improving education access and quality for affected children; strengthening livelihoods for households; expanding or connecting families to social protection mechanisms; supporting youth employment pathways for older children and adolescents who are transitioning to decent work; strengthening institutional capacity and public policies that prevent and respond to child labor; raising public awareness to shift norms and improve reporting and prevention; and supporting research, evaluation, and the collection of reliable child labor data to guide programming and measure results. Taken together, these priorities signal that ILAB was looking for solutions that address both the immediate needs of children and the underlying drivers of child labor, such as poverty, limited schooling options, weak enforcement, and lack of reliable data.
Eligibility was broad and included commercial entities, international organizations, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations, as well as public international organizations, as long as they could demonstrate the capacity to reduce children's participation in child labor and to design and implement education and livelihoods programming. The funding instrument type was described as "other," and the opportunity category was listed as "other," with the activity area categorized under employment, labor, and training. The notice indicated an expectation of one award, though it also stated that ILAB intended to make one or more cooperative agreements, suggesting the final award structure would be clarified in the full solicitation.
This notice functioned as an advance signal that a full Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) would be published later with specifics that were not yet provided in the NOI, including the exact target groups, sectors, geographic regions within Tanzania, and any more detailed funding guidance. ILAB stated the SGA would remain open for at least 45 days once posted, and that awards would be made on or before December 31, 2012. The posting date for the NOI was August 9, 2012, and the opportunity referenced an original and current closing date of September 30, 2012, with an archive date of October 30, 2012. Applicants and interested parties were instructed to reference "NOI Tanzania 1" in inquiries, and the solicitation, when posted, would cite the applicable SGA number (listed in the record as SGA TANZANIA 1).
For access issues or questions, the notice provided points of contact within USDOL: Grant Officer Brenda J. White (white.brenda.j@dol.gov) and alternate Grant Officer James Kinslow (kinslow.james@dol.gov), with a phone number listed as 202-693-4570. An additional information link directed readers to the ILAB website for related materials and updates tied to the forthcoming solicitation.
