The Functioning of GOUV: Decision-Making Process
GOUV operates through a structured decision-making process to ensure that every project or regulatory measure aligns with its institutional values and global mission. This process involves several key steps and entities, each playing a critical role in analyzing, approving, and implementing proposals. Below is an outline of the workflow for projects and decrees.
Reception by the Public Relations House (HPR)
When a project is proposed by the public, it is first received by the Public Relations House (HPR). The HPR conducts an in-depth analysis of the project’s economic, political, and legal viability.
Analysis by the Public Relations House (HPR)
Once the analysis is complete, the HPR prepares a standardized proposal model. This document includes all relevant data and is sent to the Presidency for further evaluation.
Review by the General Presidency of GOUV
The Presidency assesses the proposal to determine whether it aligns with GOUV’s institutional and governmental interests.
1st approval by the General Presidency of GOUV
If approved, the Presidency issues a preliminary approval decree and forwards the proposal to the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR).
Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) receives the proposal
The CFR is responsible for the final approval or rejection of the project. The Council evaluates the feasibility and applicability of the project in all countries with GOUV Commissions.
Approval by the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR)
A project is approved if more than 51% of the high representatives vote in favor. Abstentions are treated as null votes and do not affect the percentage, ensuring proportionality based on valid votes.
2nd approval by the General Presidency of GOUV
Once approved, the CFR sends the proposal back to the Presidency with the official documentation.
Implementation by the Presidency
The Presidency receives the approved proposal from the CFR and begins developing the project for implementation.
Decrees and Orders from the Council
Decrees and orders issued by the CFR do not require review by the Public Relations House (HPR). However, the HPR retains the authority to suspend these publications for further evaluation, ensuring alignment with GOUV’s ideals, values, and interests.
Presidential Decrees
Presidential decrees are irrevocable and serve as the highest authority within GOUV’s decision-making framework. These decrees can be contested but not annulled by the CFR. During the contestation phase, the CFR may propose amendments to the decree.
This structured approach ensures that every decision reflects GOUV’s commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and effective governance.
The decision-making process within GOUV (Global Organization for Cooperation and Development) is crucial for several reasons:
As GOUV aims to be a digital country, its decision-making process ensures streamlined and efficient operations. The ability to make decisions swiftly and collaboratively across digital platforms facilitates quick responses to global challenges and issues. This is particularly important as the world becomes more interconnected, and GOUV’s digital infrastructure can support international coordination in real-time.
GOUV’s mission revolves around fostering global cooperation and development. A structured and transparent decision-making process is essential for aligning the actions of diverse member institutions, countries, and stakeholders with GOUV’s broader objectives. This helps ensure that decisions support mutual goals of peace, sustainability, and shared progress.
A well-defined decision-making process within GOUV ensures accountability. With its unique e-citizenship program and diplomatic missions, maintaining clarity in decision-making helps ensure that leaders and representatives are held responsible for their actions. This also strengthens the trust of e-citizens and partner organizations in GOUV’s governance structures.
Our decision-making process is vital because it underpins the organization’s ability to function effectively in a complex, interconnected world, ensuring that its goals of cooperation, development, and innovation are achieved in a responsible, accountable, and inclusive manner.
