Richa Sharma

I've led monitoring, evaluation, evidence generation, and policy research across Madhya Pradesh Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis, DFID, UNDP, and WHO.

In my current Joint Director role, I lead monitoring and performance reviews across operational teams, designing KPI-based reports and decision-support tools that strengthen data quality, accountability, service delivery, and evidence-based planning. Previously, I designed evaluation frameworks, research methodologies, survey instruments, and measurement strategies for large-scale development programmes, translating quantitative and qualitative findings into policy briefs, technical reports, and programme improvements.

With a PhD in Corporate Social Responsibility, an MSW, an MA in Economics focused on Gender and Development, and Chartered Accountant credentials, I bring cross-sector experience in public health, governance, livelihoods, gender, climate adaptation, and institutional strengthening.
