Dubai has introduced a groundbreaking new system for approving organizational structures within its government departments, a move set to significantly streamline operations and enhance efficiency. Spearheaded by Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, this initiative, outlined in Resolution No. 19 of 2012, aims to standardize and expedite the approval process for new or amended governmental structures.
Key Takeaways
- A new system for approving organizational structures in Dubai government departments has been implemented.
- The system applies to both new and amended organizational structures across all governmental departments and sections.
- A permanent team will be established to review and approve organizational structure requests.
Streamlining Government Operations
The new system, formalized by Resolution No. 19 of 2012, dictates that all requests for establishing new organizational structures or amending existing ones must align with newly issued legislation. This legislation will specifically address the creation of new governmental bodies, modifications to current mandates, or alterations to objectives and duties as defined by law. This ensures a cohesive and legally sound framework for all structural changes within Dubai’s government.
The Approval Process
Governmental bodies seeking approval for their organizational structures are required to submit their requests to the General Secretariat of the Executive Council. Each submission must be comprehensive, including:
- The legislation that led to the establishment of the body.
- Legislation governing its activities and duties.
- Any amendments made to its activities and duties.
This detailed submission process is designed to provide the reviewing body with all necessary information for a thorough assessment.
Dedicated Review Team
A crucial element of this new system is the establishment of a permanent team dedicated to reviewing organizational structures. This team will be headed by a representative from the General Secretariat of the Executive Council and will comprise members from key governmental departments, ensuring a multi-faceted review. The team’s composition includes representatives from:
- Departments of Finance
- Dubai Government’s Departments of Legal Affairs
- Human Resources
An employee from the General Secretariat will serve as the coordinator for the team. The specific operational mechanisms and decision-making processes for this team will be further detailed in a resolution issued by the Executive Council’s Secretary General, ensuring clarity and efficiency in their functions.
