The United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (USDOL/ILAB) is offering a grant of up to $10 million for cooperative agreements to combat child labor in Tanzania. This grant is specifically aimed at reducing child labor within agricultural production and domestic service through an area-based approach. Qualified organizations will work with local entities, building upon existing efforts to protect orphans and vulnerable children, enhance education access, and foster economic opportunities for vulnerable Tanzanian households. Projects funded will focus on three key strategies: increasing children’s access to quality education, promoting sustainable livelihoods for families, and expanding access to national social protection programs, ultimately helping households overcome reliance on child labor to meet basic needs.
