  • ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 Tamar Center Negev Believes That the Future of the Negev Depends on the Success of Bedouin Children
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 Tamar Center Negev believes that the future of the Negev depends on the success of Bedouin children. Tamar Center Negev encourages personal responsibility and initiative, cultivating a culture of excellence and creating opportunities. These values are the key to a better, shared future for Bedouin society, the Negev and the country. FOUNDING PRINCIPLES CULTIVATING PARTNERSHIPS PERSONAL CREATING EXCELLENCE INITIATIVE & OPPORTUNITIES RESPONSIBILITY Tamar Center Negev is a new, rapidly growing grassroots organization igniting change and nurturing hope through education for Bedouin Society in the Negev. Tamar builds a culture of excellence, empowerment and access in the Bedouin community. Tamar Center Negev was founded in 2015 by Ibrahim Nsasra, a 36-year-old Bedouin businessman, who brought together a group of Bedouin educators and community leaders to build the organization. Two-thirds of Bedouin society is under the age of 18. The youth are the worst performing students in Israeli society by all standards, with less than 2% achieving high-level high school matriculation in Mathematics and 36% dropping out by the end of 12th grade. Low matriculation rates are a key barrier to Bedouin student’s entry into competitive University faculties, limiting their ability to integrate into higher education and quality employment. Improved access to high achievement in STEM will enable Bedouin youth to break the cycle of poverty and become local role models. Tamar is not a substitute for state institutions, but rather a framework for improving the population’s access to state apparatuses. The educational initiatives at Tamar are chosen very strictly; after foundational research that enables us to design programs that will reach the roots of the challenges on a regional level and influence beyond the boundaries of the initiative.

In Negev und Galiläa, wo der grösste Teil der palästinensischen HEKS-Schwerpunkt: Konfliktbearbeitung Minderheit lebt, ist das Angebot insbesondere für Mütter und Kinder sowie für psychisch Kranke schlechter als in anderen Regionen des Landes. In der beduinischen Bevölkerung ist die Kindersterblichkeit auf dem Niveau eines Entwicklungslandes. Ein Grund dafür ist die ungenügende Zahl an arabischsprachigen ÄrztInnen und Pflegepersonen. Die politischen Rahmenbedingungen, etwa die Nichtanerkennung palästinensisch-beduinischer Dörfer in Negev und in Galiläa, tragen ebenfalls zur ISRAEL/PALÄSTINA schlechten Gesundheitsversorgung der dort lebenden Bevölkerungsgruppen bei. Ziele Mit diesem Projekt will die HEKS-Partnerorganisation «Physicians for Human SYRIEN Rights» (PHR) die Gesundheitsversorgung für Minderheiten in Israel verbessern.

Institute for National Security Studies The Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), incorporating the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, was founded in 2006. The purpose of the Institute for National Security Studies is first, to conduct basic research that meets the highest academic standards on matters related to Israel’s national security as well as Middle East regional and international security affairs. Second, the Institute aims to contribute to the public debate and governmental deliberation of issues that are – or should be – at the top of Israel’s national security agenda. INSS seeks to address Israeli decision makers and policymakers, the defense establishment, public opinion makers, the academic community in Israel and abroad, and the general public. INSS publishes research that it deems worthy of public attention, while it maintains a strict policy of non-partisanship. The opinions expressed in this publication are the authors’ alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute, its trustees, boards, research staff, or the organizations and individuals that support its research.
