Qatar

RAND has conducted research on Qatari issues since 2003. From 2003 to 2013, much of this work was performed in partnership with the Qatar Foundation in the RAND-Qatar Policy Institute. Most RAND analyses have focused on Qatar's education system, but the research agenda also includes health, infrastructure, labor markets, and science and technology.
