Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 20 05
The opportunity titled "Reducing Child Labor in Ethiopian Agriculture Using a Gender Focused Approach" is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB). It is not an open solicitation and it is not accepting applications yet. Instead, it signals that, if funding is available, ILAB plans to release a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) later and run a competitive selection process.
If the FOA is issued, ILAB expects to fund one cooperative agreement with an estimated award ceiling of USD 5,000,000. The planned project would target child labor in Ethiopias agricultural sector and is explicitly designed around a gender-focused, gender-mainstreaming approach. The effort aligns with the Womens Global Development and Prosperity Initiative (W-GDP) and centers on groups considered especially vulnerable within agricultural work, particularly women and adolescent girls ages 15 to 17.
The notice lays out three main results the project is expected to pursue. First, it aims to strengthen the technical capacity of the Government of Ethiopia to address child labor in agriculture, with special attention to the informal sector, and to do so in a way that mainstreams gender considerations into policies, programs, and enforcement approaches. Second, it seeks to improve the ability of communities to prevent and reduce child labor using the same gender-mainstreaming lens, implying community-level systems, norms, referral pathways, and local problem-solving mechanisms that account for different risks and barriers faced by girls and boys and by women and men. Third, it intends to increase the economic stability of households that are vulnerable to relying on child labor, again with a focus on women and girls, reflecting the idea that household livelihoods and womens economic resilience are closely tied to whether children are pushed into hazardous or inappropriate work.
For clarity, the notice defines gender mainstreaming as assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action at all levels, with the goal of achieving gender equality. In practice, that means the project is expected to integrate gender analysis and gender-responsive strategies into planning, implementation, and measurement, rather than treating gender as an add-on.
Administratively, the grant would fall under CFDA 17.401 and would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement from the funding agency during implementation compared to a standard grant. The Employment and Training Administrations Office of Grants Management anticipated publishing the FOA around July 13, 2020, with the intent to make an award by November 30, 2020, though the notice emphasizes these dates could change. Interested organizations are directed to monitor Grants.gov for the actual FOA, because that is where it would be posted if released, and the Department notes it will not distribute email or paper copies. The notice also points readers to ILAB grant webpages for general guidance and examples from prior cooperative agreement applications, but stresses that no application package or attachments are provided with this Notice of Intent.Apply for NOI ILAB 20 05
