Hi, I'm having some difficulty making clear sense here - I've been translating det offentlige in this document as "public authority" (there are many previous examples of offentlige nyndigheter. Myndighetsutøver I am coming up with "governmental authority" but I don't see much of a difference between the two here. Is there another term that would be clearer? Thanks for your help!

Denne plikten gjelder det offentlige som myndighetsutøver. Offentlige myndigheters aktivitetsplikt innebærer blant annet en plikt til å ivareta hensynet til likestilling og mangfold ved det offentlige tjenestetilbudet.

the state acting as public authority
This is one possible solution. The term "det offentlig" has several translations (public sector/public authority/the Government/the State" etc.
