Tana Copenhagen and Euro Health Group (EHG) are pleased to announce that they have signed an agreement to merge, uniting two respected development-consulting firms under one roof. The new organisation will pair Tana’s recognised strengths in governance, peace and security, and climate adaptation and resilience, with EHG’s 35 years of global-health leadership creating a single, multidisciplinary partner for today’s complex development challenges.

A Shared Vision

Tana and EHG has over the years partnered on assignments which has led to a shared vision for the merger: combine complementary expertise, preserve deep in-house knowledge, and invest jointly in innovation and quality, which also responds to the present tightening development aid budgets and rising program complexity. The merger fulfils that vision by:

• Protecting core capabilities –Tana’s governance, peace and climate specialists and EHG’s global-health team will work side by side, ensuring continuity for existing clients and projects.
• Amplifying impact – Integrated teams can now design, implement and evaluate multi-sector interventions that blend technical depth with strong institutional and political-economy insight.
• Driving innovation and quality – Shared methodologies in evaluation, programme design and operational research will raise the bar for evidence-based, cost-effective solutions.

Strategic Benefits for Clients

• Broader thematic portfolio: From health-systems strengthening, disease prevention and control, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health including sexual reproductive health and rights,  and evaluation and operational research, to state-building, conflict prevention,  and climate adaptation and resilience, clients can access a single pool of senior experts across thematic disciplines.
• Global reach: With headquarters in Copenhagen and staff in Nairobi and Belgrade-plus a worldwide network of trusted associates-the merged firm offers on-the-ground support in Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia and beyond.
• Efficiency and value: Streamlined management, harmonised back-office systems and joint business-development practices will translate into faster mobilisation and competitive pricing.
• Proven quality: Our clients (e.g., EU, EIB, WHO, UNFPA, UNAIDS, UNICEF, WFP, Gavi, Global Fund, Global Financing Facility, Danida, SDC, Sida, Norad) will benefit from integrated teams and a unified quality-assurance approach.

Integration Plan

• Organisation: The combined entity will operate under the two well-known brands, EHG and Tana, with Tana’s current Managing Director, Erik Bryld, leading the operational integration and future strategic direction of the combined entity.
• Location: Corporate headquarters remain at Tana’s premises in Copenhagen;  the regional antennas continue in Nairobi and Belgrade.
• Transition: EHG will complete its existing contractual commitments under its current legal structure before year-end 2025, after which operations will be fully consolidated.

Looking Ahead

Over the next three years the merged firm will:

1. Deepen expertise in global health to tackle cross-cutting assignments that link health outcomes with governance, climate, environment and peacebuilding in line with the One Health and ‘Health in all policies’ concepts.
2. Expand geographically into Eastern Europe and Central Asia, while strengthening its Africa portfolio.
3. Invest in innovation – including digital data-collection, adaptive management and climate-smart programming-to deliver greater value and quality for clients and communities.
