DRL Transshipment Supply Chain Tracing

The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) is soliciting proposals for a project to strengthen the ability of the United States and partner countries to detect and disrupt transshipment practices that evade U.S. laws prohibiting the importation of goods made with forced labor. The project aims to support democracy, human rights, and labor programs. Key aspects of the project include: * Implementing a transshipment supply chain tracing system * Providing training and technical assistance to partner countries * Supporting research and analysis on transshipment practices * Enhancing international cooperation to combat forced labor * Key personnel involved in the project should have relevant professional experience in areas such as human rights, labor rights, and international trade. * The project's timeline should include sufficient time for conducting and finalizing internal/external evaluations and allowing sub-recipients time for final reporting. * The budget should be detailed and include costs for personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, and other direct costs. * The project's goals and objectives should be clearly outlined, and the proposal should demonstrate how the project will achieve its intended outcomes. Some of the key requirements for the proposal include: * A detailed line-item budget * A budget narrative that explains the methodology considerations for each specific line item * A project monitoring and evaluation plan that outlines the strategy for tracking performance and achieving objectives * A timeline that includes activities, evaluation efforts, and project closeout.
