About SHILP

SHILP is an initiative by Community Action Collab, in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, to build the resilience of the leaders of Community Organisations (COs) who work with vulnerable communities. Under this initiative, we work with community organisations across the country which cater to diverse communities, including female and male sex workers, people living with HIV, farmers, artisans, and members of tribal communities.
