I have also enhanced my knowledge of the Palestinian occupation and its unique development challenges, as well as my broader knowledge of the region. I also assisted in the organisation of the Palestine Resilience Conference 2016 in Amman, Jordan.So far, my research has focused on the Sustainable Development Goals, where I have authored an 100+ page thorough analysis of the present situation and challenges facing Palestine achieving the SDGs. This research will be used as the basis for a report by the Palestinian Government to guide their sustainable development agenda, as well providing context and background to a broad array of UNDP/PAPP work. I am also working on a journalistic research document on 'Area X' - the Jerusalem suburb areas like Kufr Aqab and Shuafat that are part of the annexed Israeli municipality - which are plagued by discriminatory resource allocation and receive few public services.
