# Providing actors with access to decision-makers
One of the most acute needs of many civil society organisations and social actors is to access the spheres in which decisions are being taken. The feeling of frustration that results from not being invited to the table makes them adopt an adversarial approach that fails to grasp the complexity and intricacies of decision-making and that easily falls into attitudes of blaming and shaming that put officials and politicians on the defensive.
On the contrary, tearing down that invisible wall by providing access to the so-called “corridors of power” makes activists realise that those who are supposed to be the most powerful players are also constrained by all sorts of pressures and considerations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://inspired.epd.eu/guide/who-is-involved/the-donor/providing-actors-with-access-to-decision-makers.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
