Digital Bangladesh Vision and the Current State of Digitalization

Monzur Hossain ()

Chapter Chapter 3 in Digital Transformation and Economic Development in Bangladesh, 2022, pp 29-56 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a brief account of the current state of digitalization in Bangladesh. In the context of the Digital Bangladesh Vision, the government policies and achievements are critically reviewed in this chapter. Furthermore, Bangladesh’s position in global ranking in different ICT indicators is highlighted and compared to South Asian neighboring countries. This chapter concludes that though Bangladesh made substantial progress toward digitalization, it still lags behind many developing countries’ digitalization level. The analysis suggests that Bangladesh’s position to achieve its Digital Bangladesh Vision depends on the effective utilization of the facilities already created and strong policies to reduce the digital divide. In general, poverty, inequality and low-level digital literacy are some of the factors impeding a widespread digital transformation in Bangladesh.
