The Sage Institute.
Our global community of country specialists.
Our expert community brings together the country specialists we draw upon for our content: people with deep, sustained expertise in a country and active engagement with contacts on the ground and at every level of government.
Sage connects them with one another through curated channels and structured forums, where they exchange knowledge, identify parallels across contexts, and surface insights that strengthen diplomacy and public understanding.
Our approach surfaces specialists this field too often overlooks, among them women and local experts.
With support from
We are proud to have the support of Investress, an organization dedicated to amplifying the work of female founders and organizations advancing a more gender-inclusive world.

Many have devoted their careers to remaining at the forefront of their specialty, investing countless hours deepening their knowledge and tracking events closely. We work to ensure their hard-earned insights reach those responsible for global decision-making and the public.
