Opportunity Summary:
The "Uzbekistan Decent Work Project" is a U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) Notice of Intent (NOI) describing the Department's plan to fund a single cooperative agreement with the International Labor Organization (ILO). It is not an open solicitation and is not requesting applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that USDOL intends to support specific project activities without full and open competition.
The overall purpose of the project is to strengthen Uzbekistan's ability to prevent and reduce child labor and forced labor while promoting "decent work," meaning work performed under conditions that respect fundamental labor rights, provide fair and safe working conditions, and support adequate social protections. The project is designed to build institutional and stakeholder capacity in ways that can be sustained beyond the life of the award, with a focus on both preventing labor abuses and improving the systems that protect workers.
The planned project activities are organized around three main areas. First, it will strengthen social partnerships to advance fundamental principles and rights at work, explicitly including efforts to eliminate child labor and forced labor. In practical terms, this typically involves improving cooperation and coordination among government institutions, employers and employer associations, workers and trade unions, and other relevant stakeholders so that labor standards are understood, monitored, and enforced more effectively. Second, the project aims to foster decent employment opportunities that include protections against child labor and forced labor, which points to promoting job creation and employment practices that incorporate safeguards, compliance mechanisms, and responsible recruitment and hiring practices. Third, it will work to improve working conditions and social protection, signaling attention not only to legal prohibitions but also to the underlying conditions that can make workers vulnerable, such as unsafe workplaces, weak grievance mechanisms, or limited access to labor protections and benefits.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, a structure that usually implies substantial involvement by the funding agency in project direction, oversight, or collaboration during implementation. The estimated total funding is $6,000,000, and the award ceiling is also $6,000,000, indicating the expectation of one award at or up to that amount. The opportunity lists one expected award and notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The posting and creation date for the notice is October 16, 2014. The "closing date" fields reiterate that the announcement is not a request for applications, so there is no application deadline in the usual sense. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the program is 17.401, International Labor Programs. For additional reference, the notice points to the ILAB website, and the listed contact for access issues is Leyla Strotkamp at Strotkamp.Leyla@dol.gov.
