Jennifer Radloff

Before joining APC, she worked at the University of Cape Town in the Social Justice Resource Project setting up an alternative resource centre, and then moved to the African Gender Institute to lead the communications and networking programme. While at the African Gender Institute she organised the first pan-African consultative workshop to link up librarians in Africa using email in order to share indigenous knowledge. She is a trainer and facilitator and has managed many projects, including GenARDIS – Gender, Agriculture and Rural Development in the Information Society. Radloff was involved in the formation of Women'sNet in South Africa, and was on the board until the end of 2016. She serves on the Executive Committee of the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition.

Between 1995 and 2002, she worked as the communications manager at the African Gender Institute, a feminist research and teaching group that studies issues related to gender in Africa. She has undertaken consultancies for UNDP, United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women and Rockefeller Foundation, and presented at numerous international and regional conferences, training and capacity building workshops and strategic dialogues.

Radloff is a South African activist who has been involved in women's rights since 1992, with a special focus on access to technology and ICT and capacity-building through digital security and digital storytelling. She created, along with APC's Women's Rights Programme, the Gender and Evaluation Methodology for Internet and ICTs, a learning tool that integrates a gender analysis in the evaluation of initiatives that use ICTs for social change that has been used by over 100 community-based organisations in over 25 countries.
