Strengthening Decent Work in the Fishing Sector in South America

NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent. An announcement is not related to this notice. We are not accepting applications at this time. Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive process, one cooperative agreement to an organization(s) to strengthen decent work in the fishing sector in South America by supporting actions to strengthen mechanisms to address labor violations associated with illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; increasing agency taken by workers and civil society to address labor violations in the fishing sector in South America; and increasing capacity of worker organizations, local ports authorities, and private sector to address labor violations in the fishing sector. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) around August 13, 2021, and intends to make awards by December 31, 2021 (these dates are subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/grants for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This notice 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, if an FOA is published, grants.gov is the method by which the FOA will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies of any FOA will be provided.
