    Abstract
    This article reports the findings from an intervention to strengthen the resilience of leaders of health caregivers involved in HIV and AIDS care across 4 countries, namely South Africa, Uganda, Jamaica and Kenya. Data on participants’ experience of how their involvement in a leadership intervention (Leadership Hubs) contributed to their resilience were collected using 23 focus group discussions (n = 136) and individual interviews (n = 12) with the health care leaders. Data were analysed by means of thematic content analysis. The results indicate that involvement in Leadership Hubs strengthened the resilience of participants. This was evident from a more positive mind-set and their improved confidence to be involved in problem solving, policy making, research, further studies and collaboration. Members’ resilience was thus enhanced including their abilities to access external resources (e.g., time and management) to initiate and support action plans.
