NOFO for Strengthening Decent Work in the Fishing Sector in South America

Call for Proposals: InnoVet-AMR 2.0 in Food-Producing Animals - Ruminants & Aquaculture

Deadline: 30-Sep-21

The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL, or the Department) is inviting applications to Strengthen Decent Work in the Fishing Sector in South America that aims to promote a fair global playing field for workers in the United States and around the world by enforcing trade commitments, strengthening labor standards, and combating international child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking.

Applicants must propose pilot activities in Peru and Ecuador while ensuring a regional focus and corresponding networking.

The applicant selected for award will be required, within the first six months of award, to carry out additional in-country needs assessments and consultations with partners and relevant stakeholders to assess and identify gaps, risks, and opportunities, analyze stakeholder capabilities and interests, understand potential harm, and refine and/or validate the proposed project design, including performance indicators and targets, risk mitigation, and sustainability strategies.

This FOA will support increasing and amplifying worker voice and agency in initiatives that aim to address negative economic and social impact of IUU fishing practices in the region. Two countries are identified for pilot activities–Peru and Ecuador–with other countries to be determined in consultation with local stakeholders and USDOL.

The governments of Peru and Ecuador both have taken steps to address IUU fishing and demonstrated political will to engage on this issue. Peru has signed and ratified the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter, and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (PSMA).
