Ruchika Shiva holds a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Delhi and works on water and sanitation projects focussed on urban and rural areas in India. She is also involved with certain IRC initiatives in Bangladesh. She specialises in conducting rapid assessments of community level interventions and focus group discussion facilitation and participatory research. She has 13 years of working with a wide range of organisations from grassroots to international organisations focussing on child rights and WASH.
Ruchika is currently focusing on two projects. She leads the Innovation Hub for Urban Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Solutions activities in India (IHUWASH) on behalf of IRC. Within this project three Indian cities, Faridabad, Mysore and Udaipur collectively work on innovative urban water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) solutions in their cities. This initiative of the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), TARU Leading Edge, IRC and Ennovent is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and aims to improve the performance of urban WASH programmes within a collaborative framework. It works through incubation and acceleration of innovative, scalable, community and market-based solutions using technologies, programmes and service delivery models.
On behalf of IRC, Ruchika is also leading the activities of 'Watershed: empowering citizens' in India. A strategic partnership between the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and IRC, Simavi, Wetlands International and Akvo aiming to build the capacity of civil society organisations for evidence-based lobbying and advocacy on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and integrated water resource management (IWRM) issues.
She is fluent in both English and Hindi languages.

I believe water and sanitation services are one of the core facilitating factors for women and children’s (especially girls) mobility, in their homes, public places and in institutions. We need to ensure these are available, functional and safe for lot of other development efforts to work!Ruchika Shiva
