The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), plans to award a cooperative agreement aimed at significantly reducing the worst forms of child labor prevalent in home-based carpet production across Afghanistan. This grant is for the purpose of designing and piloting a robust, sustainable social compliance system. This system will be developed in collaboration with at least one partner company, directly addressing child labor within home-based carpet weaving workplaces. The project will specifically target at least one district in Afghanistan where the prevalence of child labor is notably high. This Notice of Intent signals the USDOL’s plan to publish a Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) at a future date; it is not yet a formal request for applications. Interested applicants should monitor official government grant websites for the forthcoming SGA.
