Abstract
The study examines dramatic changes in education policy in Mali, (1990s to the mid-2000s), including the expansion of community schools and the introduction of education decentralization. Focus is on the variation in experiences between different types of civil society actors; the relationships of civil society actors with government and with international donors; and the relationships between civil society actors themselves. Within the education sector, Southern governments are more amenable to civil society organizations (CSOs) playing a role in service provision (school construction, provision of inputs etc.) rather than policy formation. How then can CSOs get to the policy table?
