This grant, offered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), is for a technical assistance project in Ethiopia. Its core purpose is to significantly reduce child labor in Ethiopia’s agricultural sector, particularly focusing on the informal economy. The project will employ a robust gender mainstreaming approach, specifically targeting the unique challenges faced by vulnerable women and adolescent girls (ages 15-17) working in agriculture. The Department is making approximately $5,000,000 available for this cooperative agreement, which aims to improve working conditions and reduce exploitative labor practices. This vital initiative is planned for a maximum duration of 4.5 years to achieve lasting impact.
