Final Report – A Summary of Our Work and Our Decision to Shut Down
The leadership team of MHI have decided to shut down the organisation in March 2024 in the belief that MHI’s work is not the most effective use of the resources at its disposal.
The report below describes MHI’s work in detail alongside our decision to shut down.
