Role of Non-State Actors in Monitoring and Review for Effective Implementation of the Post-2015 Agenda

This paper, with the support of case examples, highlights the role that non-state actors – especially civil society organisations – can play in developing monitoring and review mechanisms for the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. The paper approaches monitoring and review from the perspective of promoting mutual learning and exchange of lessons to help national and sub-national actors identify promising strategies for shifting development towards sustainable pathways.
