Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'policy' (a plan or principle guiding decisions) combined with 'knowledge' (understanding or information), i.e. knowledge about policy. This noun+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows straightforward semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase policy knowledge comes from the words policy (a set of rules or plans) and knowledge (what you know). Imagine someone reading a rule book to learn how leaders make choices, and you can see why it means 'understanding of government rules and how decisions are made'.
