使信息通信技术适应各国发展是经济社会进步和公共政策优先事项的重要标准之一。然而，实施这一雄心勃勃的概念面临着信息通信技术使用方面的社会不平等，或数字排斥。立陶宛在利用信息和通信技术的潜力管理战略举措方面有几十年的经验。关于信息社会发展和数字排斥的研究表明，减少数字排斥正在受到关注，但缺乏对所采取的措施、取得的成果以及对特定社会风险群体的影响的详细分析。本文的目的是评估立陶宛减少数字排斥的战略重点和具体措施。通过对文献内容的定性和定量分析，探索了数字排斥的状态方法，这使得只关注其中反映的数字排斥问题。本研究数据的来源是立陶宛战略信息政策文件。立陶宛数字排斥最明显和最一致的解决方案是在各区域提供信息通信技术。与从信息通信技术差距中受益的动机、能力和机会相关的数字排斥问题则明显较少。政府和非政府组织在这方面的优先事项和方向大不相同。尽管在分析政府-欧盟非政府组织计划和项目的结果和成就时发现的数据存在很大差距，但该研究为未来的数字排斥减少计划和项目提供了一些见解。
Adapting information and communication technologies (ICTs) to countries' development is one of the important criteria for economic and social progress and public policy priorities. However, implementing this ambitious concept faces social inequalities in the use of ICT, or digital exclusion. Lithuania has several decades of experience in utilizing the potential of ICT in managing strategic initiatives. Studies on the development of information society and digital exclusion show that attention is being focused on reducing the digital exclusion, but there is a lack of detailed analysis of the measures applied, the results achieved, the impact on specific social risk groups. The aim of the paper is to assess the strategic priorities and specific measures in Lithuania for reducing digital exclusion. The state approach to the digital exclusion is explored through qualitative and quantitative analysis of document content, which allows focusing only on the issue of digital exclusion reflected in them. The sources of this research data are Lithuanian strategic information policy documents. The most visible and consistent solution to the digital exclusion in Lithuania is the physical availability of ICTs in the regions. Significantly less is the problem of the digital exclusion associated with motivation, ability, and opportunities to benefit from ICT disparities. The priorities and directions of the Government and non-governmental organizations are very different in this area. In spite of the high level of gaps in the data found on analyzing the results and achievements of government-EU NGO programs and projects, the research presents some insights for future digital exclusion reduction programs and projects.
