“…Ragnedda and Muschert (2019) provided theories of digital divides to analyze different perspectives of digital inequalities. In another study (Kreitem et al, 2020), a framework was proposed to depict and compare the differences in digital inequalities in Russia and European Post-Soviet states. In another study, Kar et al (2019) addressed the challenges for urban-biased initiatives (e.g., smart cities) taken for digitization in a rural dominated country like India and Bangladesh.…”

Digital inequality is imperative to combat the perpetuation of national development and significantly exists in developing countries. Thus, the purpose of this article is to provide the underlying factors of creating digital inequality in Bangladesh. A mixed-method research approach was followed where both the qualitative and quantitative data were collected using focus group discussion (FGD), semi-structured interviews, and survey. The FGD and interviews were replicated with a total of 60 participants (each study with 30 participants), while 326 respondents participated in the survey study. The content analysis, word cloud, affinity diagram, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. As an outcome, the studies revealed 23 factors that create digital inequality in Bangladesh. The factors were clustered into five groups (referred as elements) of digital inequality through an affinity diagram. The resultant elements of digital inequality were educational, infrastructural, social, economic, and usable design. The results reflect on what factors should consider ensuring the inclusion, adoption, and contributions of information and communications technology in Bangladesh, which in turn contributes to reducing the digital inequality in Bangladesh. As a practical contribution, this research provides an in-depth scenario of digital inclusion and exclusion in Bangladesh, and the underline factors of creating digital inequality, so that nongovernmental organizations and government organizations may take necessary initiatives toward each dimension of digital inequality. The results also include identification of future research agenda toward reducing digital inequality.

Modern conditions of public administration are formed in the BANI world ( Grabmeier, 2020 ), unstable, disturbing, uniquely technological and digital. How many of today's civil servants are capable of functioning in such a world through current training and professional development systems? This issue is particularly relevant for post-Soviet countries, as most of them belong to emerging economies that are still shaping their own unique public administration system. The article is aimed at studying the practice of professional development of civil servants within the framework of additional education in post-Soviet countries in the context of digitalisation. According to the study, it is clear that the Soviet model of supplementary education for civil servants is still valid, with minor differences in the countries studied. This model is characterised by a centralised organisation of training of civil servants within the framework of specially created structures (public service academies). With the transition to digital learning, countries are differentiated by the pace and level of transition to distance and e-learning for public servants.
