| Description: | The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for projects to support the eradication of descent-based slavery in West Africa and assist with the full integration of victims into society.
The open and legal institution of slavery that existed in some West African societies for many centuries has largely been legally abolished, but the practice continues in various forms. Proposed projects should focus on efforts to eradicate descent-based slavery as well as efforts to address the economic, legal, and social exclusion faced by those impacted by slavery in no more than two West African countries. Programs should include systematic documentation of identified cases of slavery and the follow-up and monitoring actions taken for each case. |
