SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Bureau of International Labor Affairs

(ILAB), U.S. Department of Labor

(USDOL, Department, or Grantor),

announces the availability of funds to be

granted by cooperative agreement to one

or more qualifying organizations (other

than profit-making organizations) for the

purpose of reducing the spread of

human immunodeficiency virus/

acquired immune deficiency syndrome

(HIV/AIDS) and eliminating

discrimination in employment against

individuals infected with HIV/AIDS

through a global workplace prevention

and education program. The cooperative

agreement(s) are to be actively managed

by the Office of Foreign Relations (OFR),

ILAB, to assure achievement of the

stated goal. Applicants are encouraged

to be creative in proposing cost-effective

interventions that will have a

demonstrable impact on the HIV/AIDS

infection rate and the level of

discrimination in employment against

individuals infected with HIV/AIDS.

I. Background and Program Scope

A. The International HIV/AIDS

Pandemic

According to the United Nations, the

total number of people living with HIV/

AIDS in 2000 was 36.1 million, with

two-thirds of those infected in subSaharan Africa. There were more than

5.3 million newly infected persons in

2000. The total number of AIDS-related

deaths in 2000 was 3 million. AIDS is

the number one cause of death in Africa

and ranks fourth on a global scale.

Although HIV/AIDS was initially

viewed as strictly a health crisis, it is

now widely recognized to have

economic implications as well.

Recent studies on HIV/AIDS in the

workforce warn of catastrophic

consequences of HIV/AIDS for workers

and employers worldwide, projecting a

severe decline in the size and quality of

the workforce in a number of countries

over the next 20 years. The most

infected country populations in subSaharan Africa could lose 29–35% of

their labor force by 2020. Due to the

disproportionate effect of HIV/AIDS on

the 15–49 year age group, the most

economically active segment of society

is affected most severely. This fact has

serious consequences for governments,

employers, and workers alike.

Moreover, the stigma and

discrimination that surround those

suffering from the disease contribute to

the high prevalence rate by perpetuating

misinformation and preventing people

from seeking help. As a result, the

World Bank estimates that in a typical

sub-Saharan African country, with an

HIV/AIDS prevalence rate of 20%, the

average rate of GDP growth would be

2.6% lower. After a 20-year period, GDP

in those same highly infected countries

would be 67% less.

B. USDOL Global HIV/AIDS Workplace

Education

The OFR carries out a worldwide

international technical assistance

program in support of three objectives:

First, Expanding Economic Opportunity

and Income Security for Workers;

second, Protecting the Basic Rights of

Workers; and third, Reducing the

Prevalence of HIV/AIDS through

Workplace Education. This SGA seeks

one or more eligible and qualified

organizations to develop and implement

the projects supporting objective three,

Reducing the Prevalence of HIV/AIDS

through Workplace Education. In FY

2001, OFR is planning to initiate

approximately ten (10) workplace

education projects in all regions of the

world, with a particular emphasis on

Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Eastern

Europe. The tasks required of the

recipient organization(s) to carry out

this work will involve project design,

implementation, monitoring, and

reporting in one or more countries.

II. Authority

ILAB is authorized to award and

administer this program by the

Department of Labor Appropriations

Act, 2001, Public Law 106–554, 114

Stat. 2763A–10 (2000).

III. Application Process

A. Eligible Applicants

Any organization (other than a profitmaking organization), capable of

successfully developing and

implementing a HIV/AIDS workplace

education program to reduce the spread

of HIV/AIDS and help eliminate the
