This U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) grant, administered by the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), offers approximately $3,000,000 to fund a cooperative agreement. This grant is for strengthening civil society’s capacity to protect migrant workers, especially Mexican nationals participating in U.S. temporary foreign worker (TFW) programs. The project aims to support fair recruitment initiatives, improve civil society organizations’ and TFWs’ awareness of labor rights, and increase the use of formal mechanisms to exercise those rights. It will also focus on increasing women’s participation in TFW programs and their access to protections at work, aligning with International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines. Expected outcomes include civil society organizations gaining knowledge and capacity to advance migrant worker labor rights issues, and providing improved services to migrant workers.
