Its aim in research and teaching is to challenge classical conventions and foster new and critical approaches to development theory, methodology, and policy. The team at the Department of Development Studies (DDS) consists of 9 academic staff members \u2013 among them 2 professors \u2013 and 58 lecturers with various disciplinary and professional backgrounds. This diversity is an important pillar in transdisciplinary teaching and research that is further strengthened by research projects and their focus on transdisciplinarity (e.g. KNOTS &#8211; Fostering multi-lateral knowledge networks of transdisciplinary studies to tackle global challenges, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the EU and the APPEAR project Rooting Development in the Palestinian Context, funded by the Austrian Development Cooperation).

It provides a central point for the study of development generally and in Palestine specifically. As a research-oriented institution its work plays a significant role in the activities of a variety of groups both locally and internationally, including senior scholars, and policy- makers as well as local communities and groups. Over the years, CDS has built an extensive network of relations with grassroots organizations, the non-governmental sector, international organizations and the government, and makes extensive use of its resources and access to Palestinian communities and groups within and outside of Palestine. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/home.birzeit.edu\/cds\/new-cds\/\" target=\"_blank\">Visit the CDS website to learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mousawat Organization, Beirut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mousawat is a rights based organisation that aims at &nbsp;improving the quality of life for marginalized communities (especially people with disabilities, young refugees and displaced people) in Lebanon.
