Instrument
Cooperative Agreement
Description
Subject to the availability of funds, USDOL’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) intends to award, through a competitive process, a cooperative agreement to improve the capacity of civil society to better understand and address child labor and/or forced labor abuses and promote acceptable conditions of work in a sector and/or supply chain. The cooperative agreement will be implemented in a country and sector and/or supply chain to be proposed by applicants. Applicants must propose a country covered in the DOL’s Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/reports/child-labor/findings) and/or on the List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor (http://www.dol.gov/ilab/reports/child-labor/list-of-goods/). The project will achieve the following outcomes: (1) Improved capacity of civil society to identify and document accurate, independent, and objective information on the nature and scope of child labor and/or forced labor, and violations of acceptable conditions of work in a sector and/or supply chain; (2) Improved capacity of civil society to raise awareness for the protection of workers from child labor and/or forced labor abuses, and violations of acceptable conditions of work; and (3) Improved capacity of civil society to implement initiatives to address child labor and/or forced labor and violations of acceptable conditions of work, including facilitated access to grievance mechanisms and/or remedy for victims of labor exploitation.
