    Q: Could you confirm that the grant seeks projects serving Central 
American laborers working in the countries listed, i.e., not migrant 
laborers working in Central America and/or the United States?
    A. The project seeks to serve Central American Laborers working in 
the countries listed.
    Q. Is the aim of the project to help Central American laborers 
vindicate their rights under existing labor laws in their countries of 
origin, or also to help influence change in those laws for the better?
    A. The SGA states ``this project provides assistance to improve the 
effective enforcement of national labor laws by strengthening the 
capacity of local organizations to provide advice to workers about the 
scope and applicability of relevant labor laws, and when necessary, 
provide legal services explaining the procedural and documentation 
requirements to exercise those rights.''
    Q. If an organization wishes to apply to tackle part of the project 
(i.e., in one or two of the countries concerned, rather than all), can 
it do so on its own, or must it do so as part of a larger association?
    A. The Applicant must demonstrate how it will undertake activities 
in all countries listed, whether alone or through an association of 
organizations.
