Description

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 to increase private sector stakeholders’ accountability to uphold core labor standards consistent with Mexican labor law and the USMCA Labor Chapter, specifically regarding child labor, forced labor, and acceptable conditions of work in the tomato and chile pepper supply chains in Mexico. The project will increase compliance with labor laws related to child labor, forced labor, and acceptable conditions of work and it will increase application of effective and sustainable compliance and remediation systems in the tomato and chile pepper supply chains, including in the states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, and Chihuahua.The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) around October 11, 2021, and intends to make awards around February 15, 2022 (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.Additional Information URL: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/
