Policy is the result of interactions among different organisations, with particular interests and ideas, about what course of action should be taken. The sum of these interactions constitutes the policy process. Political context shapes the ways in which policy processes work. To engage effectively in policy processes, civil society organisations (CSOs) and others need to understand the political dimensions inherent in such processes. Political context includes aspects such as the distribution of power, the range of organisations involved and their interests, and the formal and informal rules that govern the interactions among different players.
