Opportunity Summary:
The FY2014 grant opportunity titled "Reduce Child Labor/Improve Labor Rights (Honduras)" is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), aimed at supporting technical assistance work in Honduras. Through one or more cooperative agreement awards, ILAB planned to invest up to $7,000,000 total to help reduce child labor while also strengthening labor rights and improving working conditions. The effort is explicitly focused on higher-risk geographic areas, especially agricultural zones in southern Honduras and the San Pedro Sula area, where vulnerabilities to child labor and workplace exploitation have been identified as pressing concerns.
The proposed project scope centers on prevention and remediation for populations most likely to be affected: children, their households, and workers who are susceptible to child labor and related labor rights violations. The labor issues highlighted in the announcement include freedom of association and collective bargaining, compliance with minimum wage rules, limits on hours of work, and occupational safety and health protections, along with other labor rights concerns and exploitative working conditions. In practical terms, the funding is intended to support a comprehensive package of interventions that can reduce the drivers of child labor, improve enforcement and compliance with labor standards, and strengthen protections for workers in both formal and informal settings connected to the targeted regions and sectors.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number SCA 14 04 and falls within the Employment, Labor and Training activity category (CFDA 17.401, International Labor Programs). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during implementation compared with a standard grant. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $7,000,000, with no stated minimum (award floor of $0), and the announcement anticipated approximately one award. Importantly, the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to a broader range of qualified organizations.
Eligibility was intentionally broad. Applicants could include 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 credibly implement the program and meet the objectives described in the funding notice. The announcement notes that full eligibility details were provided in Section III of the complete solicitation, but the general intent was to attract implementers with demonstrated capacity to carry out child labor reduction and labor rights improvement work in Honduras.
Key dates for the competition show it was posted on April 18, 2014, with an application deadline of July 2, 2014, and it was later archived on August 1, 2014. The agency listing associated with the opportunity is OASAM, and applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the USDOL grant specialist (Lloyd Sabino) by phone at 202 693 4570 or email at ops.grantoffice@dol.gov. An additional information link referenced the ILAB website as the main source for further program and solicitation details.
