The Arab Population Team was established in 2018 to integrate the Myers-JDC-Brookdale Institute contributions to the study of the Arab population in Israel. The team focused mainly on the five-year socio-economic development plan for the Bedouin population in the Negev (2017-2021), recommending policies to improve planning, implementation, and monitoring processes. In 2022, the team was awarded the government tender for the evaluation of the multi-year plan for the reduction of socio-economic gaps in the Arab population in Israel.
