local). By working together in partnerships between the public and private sectors and civil society, actors can make better use of resources, influence and expertise to achieve greater impact and change. Private-sector actors can play an important and constructive role in devising and delivering integration policies. Policies and legislation should take this into account and might consider incentives and measures to promote awareness among private actors and to facilitate their co-operation and active contribution to integration. Such measures may include creating incentives for employers to hire members of groups experiencing underemployment, for providing targeted on-the-job training programmes or for State-language classes at the workplace. 29. Civil-society actors play an important role by providing input on integration policies based on grassroots experience. They are also potential actors in implementing policies and plans. As a multi-actor and multi-level process, integration cannot succeed without the active engagement of civil society in elaborating integration policies and in implementing and monitoring them. The diversity of civil society itself should be recognized. This implies that governments should not predetermine which civil society organizations will be consulted or invited to participate in drafting and implementing integration policies and exclude others. Rather, adequate efforts should be made and transparent procedures established to mobilize the engagement of interested civil-society organizations, such as NGOs, including those representing minorities; professional organizations; social partner organizations; religious organizations and institutions; and academia. Civil society contributes to the overall respect for the principles of good governance and pluralism by ensuring respect for democratic and pluralistic principles in the internal set up of its organizations.
