The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for a grant opportunity. This initiative is specifically tailored for eligible organizations eager to submit proposals for projects that will promote robust international labor standards. The core objective is to significantly improve the working conditions and rights of individuals operating within the rapidly expanding platform economy in both Colombia and Brazil. Often referred to as ‘gig workers,’ these individuals require stronger protections. Successful projects should outline concrete strategies to advocate for and implement fair labor practices, ensuring equitable treatment and adherence to global labor guidelines for these vital workforces. This grant aims to drive meaningful, sustainable improvements in the rights of platform workers across these South American nations.
