Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ILAB 21 03
The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) announced a discretionary funding opportunity to support a major technical assistance project in Brazil focused on reducing child labor and/or forced labor within a targeted agricultural sector. The central purpose of the grant is to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) so they can more effectively prevent, identify, and address labor exploitation affecting children and other vulnerable workers in agricultural supply chains. In practical terms, the project is meant to help local organizations become more capable partners in planning and delivering interventions, coordinating with other stakeholders, and sustaining efforts that reduce child labor and forced labor risks in the sector selected by the program.
This opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number FOA-ILAB-21-03 and is administered by ILAB within the Department of Labor. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the Department expects an active partnership role during implementation, with ongoing collaboration, technical input, and shared responsibility for achieving results rather than a fully hands-off grant relationship. The total funding amount available is approximately $10,247,000, contingent on the availability of federal funds, and ILAB expected to make one award, indicating a single, relatively large project rather than multiple smaller grants.
The assistance is categorized under CFDA (now often referenced through Assistance Listings) number 17.401. While the activity category is listed as "Other," the description clarifies that the work is technical assistance aimed at capacity building for CSOs tackling labor exploitation concerns in agriculture. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which usually means eligibility can include certain nontraditional applicants depending on the program rules (for example, nonprofit organizations, NGOs, or other entities with relevant experience), but applicants would need to confirm exact requirements in the full FOA text.
Key administrative details include an announcement creation date of January 11, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 11, 2021. Applications were required to be received by the deadline on the closing date using U.S. Eastern Time, as stated in the notice. Overall, the opportunity reflects ILAB's approach of funding large, focused projects designed to build local institutional strength and long-term capability among civil society actors to combat child labor and forced labor in high-risk agricultural settings in Brazil.Apply for FOA ILAB 21 03
