AfriQA is a cross-lingual QA dataset with a focus on African languages. AfriQA includes 12,000+ XOR QA examples across 10 African languages, where relevant passages are retrieved in a high-resource language spoken in the corresponding region and answers are translated into the source language. The dataset enables the development of more equitable QA technology.
