The Whole of Society Approach – Levels of engagement and meaningful participation of different stakeholders in the review process of the 2030 Agenda

Based on experiences from members of the Partners for Review network, this paper analyses participation of non-state actors in the review process of the 2030 Agenda and investigates how to make participation meaningful. The study focuses on the review process at the national level and defines ‘review’ as a process in which different stakeholders are engaged in a joint diagnosis of progress towards achieving the 2030 Agenda. Under this framework, the study analyses the different roles, incentives and levels of participation of different actors in the review process.
