EMPOWER: Increasing Economic and Social Empowerment for Adolescent Girls and Vulnerable Women in Zambia: NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent (NOI). There is not an announcement 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 or more cooperative agreements to organizations to reduce the prevalence of child labor in targeted rural areas in Zambia. The project will support this objective through the following key outcomes: (1) Adolescent girls engaged in or at high risk of entering child labor have increased access to acceptable work and quality training opportunities, including but not limited to apprenticeships, vocational or technical training, educational services, or establishing their own businesses; (2) Vulnerable women whose household has children engaged in or at high risk of entering child labor have increased livelihood opportunities, including establishing or expanding their own businesses; (3) Public awareness on child labor and gender equality is increased; and (4) Collaboration by Government and the private sector on the promotion of acceptable work for adolescent girls and vulnerable women is increased. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA)’s Office of Grants Management anticipates publishing the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) before the end of July 2016 (this date is subject to change). Please refer to: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/ and http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/SGAguidelines.htm for general guidelines and examples of previous cooperative agreement applications. This NOI 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 this is the method by which the FOA will be made available to the public. No email or paper copies of the FOA will be provided.
