Non-state actors play a variety of roles as agenda-setters, lobbyists, expert advisors, implementation partners, enforcers and implementers, and these roles may evolve over time (Asselt, 2016).

The aim here is to examine the actions performed by civil society, academia and the private sector to contribute to the first review processes of the 2030 Agenda.

Connect and bring actors together: make connections between government and citizens, and also among different stakeholders, so that they work together. Non-state actors can reach and effectively engage with citizens, in particular with marginalised groups, especially at the local level, and connect the grassroots level to the national and global levels (Anshul, et al., 2015). This capacity contributes to ensuring that the voices of groups that would otherwise not be able to contribute are heard and to creating synergies between national and local levels. At the same time, it can be utilised by governments to deliver more efficient and effective initiatives. This role is mainly dominated by civil society organisations, because of their connection to the grassroots. However, academia is also working on connecting different actors. Universities, particularly public ones, can provide neutral spaces for conversation and engagement with society (P4Rb, 2018).
