On February 12th, the Government of Israel approved Resolution 2397, a new Socio-Economic Development Plan for Negev Bedouin. (View a Task Force brief on the plan.) This is the second five-year economic development plan for Bedouin Negev and, at NIS 3 billion, the largest ever developed for the Bedouin community. If implemented successfully, the plan stands to be a game changer for the society.
What are its specific provisions and how are they being received in the Bedouin community? What are the challenges to successful implementation? How does the plan affect or address the ongoing dispute about land regulation, the most sensitive issues between the Bedouin society and the state?
Yariv Man, Senior Division Manager of the Directorate for Economic and Community Development of Negev Bedouin at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, who oversees plan development and implementation, discussed the provisions of the plan and goals for 2021.
