ZINDI_HASH_DATASET

Multilingual Sexual and Reproductive Health Dataset (ZINDI_HASH_DATASET)

Dataset Summary

ZINDI_HASH_DATASET is a multilingual dataset for text-based sexual and reproductive health (SRH) content. It contains aligned text pairs across nine language-country configurations, designed to support research in natural language processing (NLP), translation, and text understanding for African languages.

The dataset is split into training and validation (dev) for each language pair. It is suitable for sequence-to-sequence tasks such as translation, paraphrasing, or text generation in the SRH domain.

Languages

The dataset covers the following languages:

Language	Code
Amharic	am
English	en
Luganda	lg
Akan	ak
Swahili	sw

Each language is paired with a specific country context:

• Aka → Ghana (aka_gha)
• Amh → Ethiopia (amh_eth)
• Eng → Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda (eng_eth, eng_gha, eng_ken, eng_uga)
• Lug → Uganda (lug_uga)
• Swa → Kenya (swa_ken)
