SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of International Labor Affairs, will award up to U.S. $4 million through one or more cooperative agreements to an organization or organizations to improve access to and quality of education programs as a means to combat exploitive child labor among indigenous children in Ecuador. Projects funded under this solicitation will provide educational and training opportunities to indigenous children as a means of removing and/or preventing them from engaging in exploitive work or the worst forms of child labor. The activities funded will complement and expand upon existing projects and programs to improve basic education in the country of interest. Applications must respond to the entire Statement of Work outlined in this solicitation. In Ecuador, activities under these cooperative agreements will provide the direct delivery of quality basic education to indigenous working children and those at risk of entering work, and will result in their enrollment, persistence, and completion of an education or training program. I. Funding Opportunity Description The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), announces the availability of funds to be awarded by cooperative agreement to one or more qualifying organizations for the purpose of expanding access to and quality of basic education and strengthening government and civil society’s capacity to address the education needs of indigenous working children and those at risk of entering work in Ecuador. The overall purpose of USDOL’s Child Labor Education Initiative, as consistently enunciated in USDOL appropriations FY 2000 through FY 2005, is to work toward the elimination of the worst forms of child labor through the provision of basic education. Accordingly, entities applying under this solicitation must develop and implement strategies for the prevention and withdrawal of children from the worst forms of child labor, consistent with this purpose. ILAB is authorized to award and administer this program by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, Pub. L. 108–447, 118 Stat. 2809 (2004). The cooperative agreement or cooperative agreements awarded under this initiative will be managed by ILAB’s International Child Labor Program (ICLP) to ensure achievement of the stated goals. Applicants are encouraged to be creative in proposing PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36949 cost-effective interventions that will have a demonstrable impact in promoting school attendance and completion in the geographical areas where children are engaging in or are most at risk of engaging in the worst forms of child labor. 1. Background and Program Scope A. USDOL Support of Global Elimination of Exploitive Child Labor The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimated that 211 million children ages 5 to 14 were working around the world in 2000. Full-time child workers are generally unable to attend school, and part-time child laborers balance economic survival with schooling from an early age, often to the detriment of their education. Since 1995, USDOL has provided close to U.S. $400 million in technical assistance funding to combat exploitive child labor in approximately 70 countries around the world. Programs funded by USDOL range from targeted action programs in specific sectors to more comprehensive efforts that target the worst forms of child labor as defined by ILO Convention 182. Convention 182 lists four categories of the worst forms of child labor, and calls for their immediate elimination: • All forms of slavery or practices similar to slavery, such as the sale and trafficking of children; debt bondage and serfdom and forced or compulsory labor; including forced or compulsory recruitment of children for use in armed conflict; • The use, procurement or offering of a child for prostitution, production of pornography or pornographic performances; • The use, procurement or offering of a child for illicit activities in particular for the production and trafficking of drugs as defined in the relevant international treaties; • Work which by its nature or by the circumstances by which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety, and morals of children. In determining the types of work likely to harm the health, safety and morals of children, Recommendation 190 to Convention 182 considers the following: work which exposes a child to physical, psychological or sexual abuse; work underground, underwater, at dangerous heights or in confined workplaces; work with dangerous machinery, equipment and tools or handling or transporting heavy loads; work in an unhealthy environment including exposure to hazardous substances, agents or processes, or to E:\FR\FM\27JNN1.SGM 27JNN1
