About this program

This is a Notice of Intent/Forecast only. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), DOL intends to award two (2) cooperative agreements ($18 million, total costs subject to the availability of Federal funds) to fund technical assistance projects to improve labor law enforcement in targeted sectors of key trade partner countries to ensure unfair competition does not undercut American workers and producers. One cooperative agreement for a project in the Western Hemisphere, focused on Ecuador, El Salvador, and Guatemala (award ceiling: $10 million) and the other in Asia, focused on Bangladesh and Malaysia (award ceiling: $8 million). Both projects will support the implementation of labor commitments in trade arrangements, with a focus on free trade agreements and Agreements on Reciprocal Trade (ARTs). If applicants choose to apply for both geographic regions, they must submit separate applications for each, and each application will be evaluated independently. Outcome(s) The project outcomes will be developed by the applicant.
