European men's health think-tank closes

The European Men's Health Development Foundation was formally wound up and dissolved on 29 January 2009.

Launched in March 2000, the Foundation acted as an independent think tank, working within an anti-discriminatory framework and through partnerships across Europe, to identify evidence-based policy and programmes for improving the health of boys and men across Europe.

The Foundation produced the following resources for all involved in gender and health work:
