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 plan for the socio-economic development of the Bedouin population in the Negev, 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 national plan for the Arab population in Israel.
