Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ILAB 18 05
The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), through its Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Improving the Capacity of Labor and Agriculture Stakeholders to Address Child Labor in Agricultural Areas in Argentina." The grant is designed to support a targeted technical assistance effort in Argentina focused on reducing child labor in agricultural contexts by strengthening how key institutions and actors understand the problem and respond to it. The funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department expects to have an active role during implementation (for example, through collaboration on planning, oversight, and coordination), rather than operating strictly as a hands-off funder.
The opportunity makes available up to approximately USD 2,500,000 in total costs, contingent on the availability of federal funds. ILAB anticipated making one award, indicating the project was intended to be implemented as a single, coordinated initiative rather than being split among multiple grantees. The funding activity category is listed under Employment, Labor and Training (CFDA 17.401), aligning the project with ILAB's broader mandate to combat child labor, forced labor, and other labor rights violations worldwide by supporting capacity building, policy improvement, and stakeholder coordination.
Substantively, the project aims to increase concrete action by labor and agriculture stakeholders in Argentina to address child labor in agricultural areas. The opportunity emphasizes two main outcomes. First, it seeks an increased shared or "common" understanding among relevant stakeholders of both the challenges and the opportunities involved in tackling child labor in agriculture. This points to a focus on improving coordination and alignment across sectors that do not always work from the same playbook, such as labor inspection bodies, agricultural authorities, producer groups, employers, unions, civil society organizations, and potentially local governments or service providers in rural areas. Second, it aims to increase the capacity of these labor and agriculture stakeholders to address child labor in agriculture, suggesting practical improvements such as better institutional readiness, improved tools and procedures, enhanced training, stronger referral pathways for child protection, and more effective collaboration mechanisms across agencies and sectors.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is FOA-ILAB-18-05 and it was published (creation date) on July 9, 2018. The original application deadline was August 27, 2018, with applications required to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the notice indicating that applicants needed to consult an additional eligibility section in the full announcement for clarification on which organizations could apply (often in ILAB opportunities this can include a mix of non-profits, NGOs, educational institutions, international organizations, and sometimes for-profits, depending on the specific FOA rules).
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a relatively focused capacity-building and stakeholder-mobilization initiative. Instead of funding direct service delivery at scale, the described purpose centers on strengthening the ability of institutions and sector actors to recognize, prevent, and respond to child labor in agricultural areas of Argentina, with the logic that better shared understanding and stronger capacity translate into more consistent enforcement, improved prevention strategies, and more coordinated action across the labor and agriculture ecosystems.Apply for FOA ILAB 18 05
