GLOBAL OUTREACH BLOC (GOB)
Resolution 1.1
Topic: Filling the AI skill gaps in developing nations
Sponsors: Germany, Republic of Korea, Uganda, France, Saudi Arabia
Signatories: Australia, Peru, India, Guatemala, Mexico, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya,
Serbia, Brazil, Italy
This working paper seeks to address the challenges faced by developing nations without proper
AI resources and infrastructure; Specifically, in such developing nations, more than 800 million
people don’t have access to electricity, which is 10% of the global population; Globally, only 19%
of the people in rural areas have access to internet, while 89% of the people in the urban areas
have access to internet, signaling the huge gap; for the betterment of the basic infrastructure
availability in the developing nations and Artificial Intelligence literacy we propose the
resolutions in the working paper below;
The Global Outreach Bloc proposes:
Deeply disturbed by the significant increase in AI illiteracy
Taking note of the unforgettable effects of lack of AI opportunities
Having examined the immediate need of sending resources to developing & undeveloped
nations
Declaring to reinforce these programs,
1. Encourages Member states to establish collaboration for AI bootcamps, delivering
intense literacy, by educators from the developed nations, providing inclusive experience
to both,
2. Tax deduction specifies that if one country or any private firms are making any FDI or FII
so the country can get the benefits and after that the country can just return to the parent
country in the form of outsourcing or Foreign Exchange Rates
3. calls all developed nations which do not have the resources to extract the resources in
the parent country so the developed nations can give the technology and receive a part
of the resource
4. Requires a United Global body which could look after allocation of funds, distribution of
technology, formulation of ethical obligations and ensures the adherence of these
policies as well as ascertains the creation and implementation of localised policies in the
parent country
Law and Ethical Guidelines
a)Establishment of a new UN organisation under UN ECOSOC
a)This body will constitute two major bodies:
a)1) an assembly of all UN member states that will structure and ensure the smooth
functioning of the committee’s global programmes
a)2)A jury that will in case of a data breach or spread of misinformation and bias that affects any
organisation/party positively, both the members of the organisation and violator must face trial
before the committee which will decide the suitable punishment
b)Functions of the committee will include:
b)1)Provide dialogue and coordination between different UN organisations and countries
b)2)Help with the proper utilisation of resources and legal support in exchange for the
placement of a special rapporteur in the central and provincial governments
b)3) Apart from a global action plan the committee will help in the development of each country’s
AI action plan in accordance with its socio-economic condition
b)4)Ensuring prosecution of unethical coders and data breaches for spread of misinformation
and bias

Developed countries can contribute to bridging the AI skills gap in developing nations by
strategically investing in infrastructure, education, and technology transfer. Such investments
can be incentivized through mutually beneficial arrangements wherein developing countries,
such as Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), offer regulatory leeway and
facilitative frameworks to foreign investors. This may include tax incentives, streamlined
bureaucratic procedures, and assurances of legal protections, enhancing the investment
climate. In exchange, developed countries commit to long-term capacity building through
establishing research hubs, funding digital infrastructure projects, and implementing skills
development programs tailored to local needs. This model promotes sustainable development
by aligning foreign investment with national priorities, fostering technology transfer, and
nurturing local innovation ecosystems while providing investors with a stable and rewarding
operational environment. Such partnerships represent a practical diplomatic approach
grounded in cooperation and shared interests to accelerate digital transformation in the Global
South
Significant amounts of international development funds currently remain unused or sit stagnant
in global or regional accounts, representing a missed opportunity for urgent infrastructure
development in countries with critical needs. An estimated total of $1.2 billion in idle funds could
be reallocated to address basic infrastructure gaps in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC), Guatemala, and Peru, fostering economic growth and social well-being, For an
equitable distribution aligned with population size, infrastructure deficits, and economic
capacity, approximately $350 million should be directed to Uganda to improve transportation
and water systems, $400 million to the DRC focusing on electricity and road networks, $250
million to Guatemala targeting rural connectivity and sanitation, and $200 million to Peru for
upgrading urban infrastructure and disaster resilience, This strategic reallocation would
accelerate infrastructure development, enhance livelihoods, and contribute toward achieving
Sustainable Development Goals in these priority countries
