Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008708
The grant opportunity titled "DRL Strengthening Worker Rights in Indonesia's Mining Industries" is a U.S. Department of State funding competition run by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). It is focused on improving respect for internationally recognized labor standards in Indonesia, with a specific emphasis on occupational safety and health (OSH) conditions in the mining sector. In practical terms, the program is meant to support projects that strengthen worker protections and promote safer workplaces in an industry where risks can be high and where stronger enforcement, training, and accountability mechanisms may be needed.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008708) under the Assistance Listing/CFDA number 19.345. It was posted on March 17, 2022, with an original application deadline of May 17, 2022. The maximum award amount listed is up to $1,000,000. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which typically signals that the number of awards was not specified in the source entry or may depend on the quality of applications and available funds rather than a guaranteed number of awards.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with a note to consult the opportunity's eligibility section for the full details. That usually indicates the competition may be open to a range of organization types beyond a single category, such as non-profits, NGOs, civil society groups, or other qualified entities, as long as they meet the criteria in the full announcement. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," suggesting the work sits at the intersection of labor rights, human rights, and rule-of-law style programming rather than fitting neatly into a single conventional grants category.
Overall, this grant is aimed at organizations that can design and implement programs in Indonesia's mining industries that advance internationally recognized OSH and labor standards. While the short description does not list required activities, the central theme is clear: improving mine worker rights and safety outcomes by promoting stronger occupational safety and health practices aligned with global labor standards, likely through worker-focused protections, capacity-building, and systems that encourage compliance and safer working conditions.Apply for SFOP0008708
