Nominations must align with the resolution’s provisions, procedural guidelines, the entity’s
strategic and operational requirements, and Emiratisation policies.

Besides streamlining government employees' career paths, the new resolution seeks to achieve the
following goals:

• Strengthen corporate risk management

• Ensure business continuity

• Identify the key positions that are critical to achieving departmental goals and maintaining
smooth operations
• Lay down a unified set of succession planning procedures for government entities

The new scheme applies to all Emirati civilian employees of government entities, except those on
temporary contracts, special contracts, secondments, and retirees appointed within these entities.

The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) is tasked with developing and
approving a guide to the procedures, timelines, and templates required for implementing the
succession planning system.
The DGHR will also be responsible for updating and distributing this guide to government entities
and monitoring their compliance.

Additionally, the department will regularly review the provisions of the resolution, recommend
amendments, and submit them for approval to the relevant authorities.

The director-general of the DGHR will issue the decisions needed to implement this resolution. This
resolution is effective from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
