Expert Community

A peer-vetted network of the world's most trusted country specialists.

Sage's Expert Community is a peer-vetted global network of the world's most informed country specialists — individuals with deep, sustained expertise and active, ongoing engagement with contacts on the ground and at every level of government within their specialty. Membership is selective: every specialist is validated by their peers as among the most knowledgeable and connected voices on their country.

Unlike other expert networks, ours is built on peer recognition: vetted specialists identify other specialists, so membership reflects who other experts rely on for accurate knowledge. A core value of ours is to champion these experts, many of whom have devoted their careers to staying at the forefront of their field, investing countless hours building knowledge that is often not fully recognized or adequately compensated. We're committed to ensuring that expertise is accessible and consistently heard by those shaping global decisions and public opinion, including voices too often overlooked in this field, such as 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.


The countries we currently cover:

Bahrain · Eritrea · Ethiopia · Kuwait · Oman · Qatar · Saudi Arabia · Somalia · Sudan · UAE · Yemen
