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, Programmes
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, Programmes.

About the project

Recognising that COVID-19 will produce new and intensified stressors on men’s mental health, we want to understand exactly what is happening to men now, and over the next 9 months so we can design Health Promotion’s activity with greater impact in the short and longer-term.

We will deliver this programme of research in 3 key markets to be able to explore themes, trends and differences in men's lived experience in relation to mental health and masculinity, as well as better understand their media consumption. It will include ethnography to explore specific themes in depth, as well as population-level survey data to extract bigger trends.

We are recruiting a panel of cross-sectoral experts that will help us examine the findings and consider the implications for ongoing programmatic work. Where appropriate, we will make the insights and findings of this work public to improve knowledge in the sector more broadly. 

Update: The research and subsequent report are now complete and have been shared with external and internal stakeholders and will shortly be made available on Movember channels, to maximise amplification of the research findings and insights.
