Combating Forced Labor and Labor Trafficking of Adults and Children

This is a Notice of Intent only. The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), intends to award funding to an existing Cooperative Agreement with Verité, Inc. to extend the implementation of a project to build the capacity of governments, businesses, worker organizations, and civil society organizations to prevent, detect and eliminate forced labor and labor trafficking in supply chains. The project will expand and improve coordination around ongoing labor trafficking enforcement efforts in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Benin. By putting the right tools in the hands of labor inspectors, business owners, workers, and service providers, the project will advance greater supply chain transparency and accountability to ensure that they are free of exploitative labor.
