This report focuses on the lack of sampling of the Bedouin population in the Negev by the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics and its consequences. The report shows that there is an acute lack of real data and local sampling of the communities in the unrecognized villages in the Negev. All statistics concerning these communities are complex assessments and estimates, without area-focused sampling. The Central Bureau of Statistics, which is a State body that is supposed to sample the entire population of Israel, has refrained for all these years from conducting a comprehensive census of the entire Bedouin community. In fact, the State does not have a comprehensive picture of the Arab Bedouin population in the Negev, its civil and socioeconomic situations, and more. A lack of true data leads to impeding of the realization of the rights of the residents, first and foremost at the budgetary level. The regional councils, the educational  and health systems, and all the welfare services rely on per-capita budgeting. Without full and true information, the residents of the unknown villages are always under-budgeted. The unrecognized Bedouin villages are not on the map, and their inhabitants are not included in the census. This lack of data also prevents the residents of the villages from accessing essential government and civil services, which constitutes a violation of the residents’ rights to participate in democratic processes.
