implementing the Succession Planning System. DGHR is 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.

coordination with unit heads, and with the employee’s consent. Nominations must align with the
