Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent titled "Project to Combat Child Labor" signals that the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), through its Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), planned to release a competitive funding opportunity focused on reducing child domestic work in South Asia and/or Southeast Asia. Because this is a Notice of Intent only, it is essentially an early heads-up rather than the full application package. The detailed project requirements, including the specific countries, target groups, sectors, geographic focus areas, and exact funding allocations, were to be provided later in a formal Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) that ILAB expected to publish prior to December 31, 2012. Any communication about this notice was to reference "NOI Child Domestic Work Southeast Asia 3."
The opportunity anticipated awarding up to $5,000,000 in total funding, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000 and no stated minimum award amount. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally means USDOL expected to have substantial involvement during project implementation compared to a standard grant (for example, more active collaboration, joint planning, or ongoing technical engagement). The posting indicates an expectation of one award, though the narrative also leaves open the possibility of one or more cooperative agreements, depending on how the competition was ultimately structured in the later SGA.
The program purpose aligns with the mission of USDOLs Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking (OCFT), which supports research, builds strategic partnerships, and funds international technical cooperation to eliminate the worst forms of child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. In practical terms, this planned project was meant to reduce childrens participation in child domestic work by supporting interventions that can include education and livelihoods programming. The eligibility language emphasizes capacity to implement programs that both reduce child labor and provide educational and livelihood services to affected children, reflecting a typical model of prevention (keeping children from entering domestic work), withdrawal (helping children leave harmful labor), and reintegration (supporting schooling and safer economic alternatives for families).
Eligibility was broad. The notice states that any commercial, international, educational, or nonprofit organization could apply, including faith-based, community-based, and public international organizations, as long as they are capable of achieving the intended outcomes. Importantly, it also clarifies that lack of prior experience with USDOL cooperative agreements, grants, or contracts does not disqualify an applicant, which is meant to encourage newer or less USDOL-experienced organizations to compete if they have relevant technical capability and on-the-ground reach. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, reducing the financial barrier to participation.
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized under Employment, Labor and Training and listed under a placeholder CFDA number of 00.000 (not elsewhere classified). Key dates in the record show it was posted August 9, 2012, with a current closing date listed as December 30, 2012, and an archive date of January 29, 2013, though as a Notice of Intent, the central action for interested organizations would have been to monitor ILAB for the full SGA release. The agency name shown is OASAM, and the notice provided contacts for grant officers Brenda J. White and James Kinslow, including a phone number (202-693-4570) and email addresses (white.brenda.j@dol.gov and kinslow.james@dol.gov) for access issues or questions tied to the announcement.
