Project to Reduce the Worst Forms of Child Labor in Paraguay

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is not a request for applications. Subject to the availability of funds, the U.S. Department of Labor’s (USDOL) Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive and merit-based process, one or more cooperative agreements to an organization(s) to implement a project(s) in Paraguay to support the country’s efforts to reduce the worst forms of child labor and improve labor law enforcement and working conditions in the country, with a particular focus on the Department of Guairá. The Employment and Training Administration's (ETA) Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) by the end of September 2015 (this date is subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/SGAguidelines.htm for general guidelines and examples of previous projects. This NOI does not include an FOA or any attachments. It only constitutes a notice of USDOL’s intent to publish an FOA at a later date. Interested applicants are encouraged to monitor www.grants.gov for the FOA because this is the method by which it will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies will be provided.
