We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

About the project

A men’s health scorecard, in the form of a golf scorecard was produced and delivered to thousands of men via sporting clubs, men’s clubs and businesses.

Leading professional golfer, Mark Brown, featured in and supported the project. The scorecards contained a series of questions which men were asked to answer. Prizes were obtained to encourage participation.

Distributed scorecards through workplaces, especially police, armed forces, fire service, golf clubs. Men completed the scorecard questions and were encouraged to visit their doctor if appropriate. Gathered the information from the nearly 2000 completed scorecards in 2008.

The data was valuable as the participants came from a wide range of ages and ethnicities. Provided specific website for on line participation and help www.menshealthchallenge.org.nz.

Followed up with phone survey of selected participants.
