Projects funded under this solicitation will seek to achieve this goal by withdrawing children from, and preventing children from engaging in, exploitive child labor through the provision of direct educational services, including education and/or training programs, and improving the capacity of target countries to address exploitive child labor. USDOL/ILAB is authorized to award and administer cooperative agreements for this purpose by the Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2008, P.L. 110-161 (2007). Cooperative agreements awarded under this solicitation will be managed by USDOL/ILABs Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Human Trafficking (OCFT).

The start date of program activities will be negotiated upon award of individual cooperative agreements but will be no later than September 30, 2008.

Additional Information on Eligibility
III. ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION A. Eligible Applicants Any commercial, international, educational, or non-profit organization(s), including any faith-based, community-based, or public international organization(s) capable of successfully withdrawing and preventing children from exploitive child labor and developing and implementing educational programs to serve this target population in the target country is eligible to apply. However, the Applicant (which in the case of an Association, includes all members of the Association) is not allowed to charge a fee (profit). Applications from foreign governments and entities that are agencies of, or operated by or for, a foreign state or government will not be considered. An Applicant must demonstrate a country presence, either independently (in the case of Associations, country presence may be demonstrated through one or more of the Associates) or, in some cases, through a relationship with a subcontractor(s) with country presence, which gives it the ability to initiate program activities upon award of the cooperative agreement. Note: Organizations may apply for more than one cooperative agreement under this solicitation; however, separate applications must be submitted for each country. If applications for more than one cooperative agreement are combined, they will be considered non-responsive and will be rejected. If it is deemed the most effective and efficient strategy for achieving the goals outlined in the Scope of Work, USDOL may award one or more cooperative agreement to an Association. An Association is comprised of two or more organizations that do not constitute a single legal entity, but join in applying for an award under this solicitation. Each member of the Association must be individually eligible for the award. In the event of award, all Associates identified in the application must sign the cooperative agreement with USDOL and agree to be bound jointly and severally by the cooperative agreement. If any entity identified in the application as an Associate does not sign the cooperative agreement, the Lead Grantee must provide, within 60 days of award, either a written subcontract agreement with such entity, acceptable to USDOL, or an explanation as to why that entity will not be participating in the cooperative agreement. USDOL reserves the right to re-evaluate the award of the cooperative agreement in light of any such change in an entitys status and may terminate the award if deemed appropriate. Any Applicant applying as an Association must submit to USDOL, in Annex K of their technical proposal, an Association Agreement, reflecting an appropriate joint venture, partnership, or other contractual agreement and outlining the deliverables, activities, and corresponding timeline for which each Associate will be responsible. This agreement must designate one member of the Association as the "Lead Applicant." In the event of award, this organization will become the "Lead Grantee." For the purposes of this solicitation and cooperative agreement awards, the Lead Grantee will be: 1) the primary point of contact with USDOL to receive and respond to all inquiries (except for indirect cost negotiations), communications and orders under the project; 2) the only entity with authority to withdraw or draw down funds through the Department of Health and Human Services - Payment Management System (HHS-PMS); 3) responsible for submitting to USDOL all deliverables, including all technical and financial reports related to the project, regardless of which Associate performed the work; 4) the sole entity that may request or agree to a revision or amendment of the cooperative agreement or the Project Document; and 5) responsible for working with USDOL to close out the project. Each Associate is ultimately responsible for overall project performance, regardless of any assignment of specific tasks, but Associates may agree, among themselves only, to apporti
