Opportunity Summary:
The Project to Reduce Child Labor in Agriculture in Mexico is a U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) grant opportunity that was released as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it is not the actual funding announcement and applications were not being accepted at the time of posting. The NOI signals that, if funding is available, ILAB planned to run a competitive process to award one or more cooperative agreements for work in Mexico aimed at reducing child labor, with an emphasis on agricultural labor. The geographic focus highlighted Oaxaca plus one additional target state chosen from Jalisco, Nayarit, Puebla, or Veracruz, indicating the project was intended to concentrate resources in areas where agricultural production and child labor risks may overlap.
The planned project approach was framed around two long-term outcomes. First, it aimed to strengthen how key stakeholders respect, promote, and protect labor rights under the law, especially as those rights relate to child labor and acceptable working conditions for youth who are old enough to work legally. In practice, this outcome usually implies coordinated engagement with institutions and actors such as labor inspectors, education authorities, social service providers, employer groups, producer organizations, and civil society organizations, with the goal of improving compliance, awareness, and enforcement capacity. Second, it aimed to ensure that children and adolescents who are already engaged in child labor, or who are at high risk of entering it, along with their families when appropriate, can access quality education and relevant social programs. This points to prevention and remediation strategies that reduce the economic and social pressures that push children into labor, while improving school access, retention, and support services.
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized as a discretionary program using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation and oversight compared with a standard grant. The NOI listed an anticipated award ceiling of up to $7,000,000 and expected one award, suggesting a single large implementer or a lead organization managing a consortium could have been envisioned. The catalog reference provided was CFDA 17.401, and the issuing agency was DOL-ETA-ILAB (the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration Office of Grants Management supporting ILAB).
The NOI also provided guidance on what to do next rather than how to apply. It stated that the formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) was anticipated around July 2016 (subject to change) and emphasized that the FOA would be made available through Grants.gov, with no email or paper copies distributed. Interested organizations were directed to ILAB’s grants webpage and ILAB’s solicitation guidelines page for general instructions and examples from prior cooperative agreement applications. The notice carried dates (posted and created May 20, 2016, and a listed closing date of August 30, 2016), but the key takeaway is that this posting itself was informational only and did not include an FOA, attachments, or an open application window.
