The popularity of radio combined with high penetration of mobile phones in Africa contributed to the emergence of new public forums for discussion, enabling African citizens voicing their opinions using mobile phones through the ariwaves. International agencies such as UNICEF are interested in knowing what these opinions are in order to design and monitor development interventions with particular groups. Cambridge organisation Africa's Voices has datasets of SMS messages collected from different African countries, in local languages, with sociodemographical information, addressing health and human rights issues. Your task is to create a multi-lingual browser that can identify common topics from meta data and word frequency in that database, with a user interface that generates data analytics that would help international teams holding policy discussions that relate and recognise ideas, conveyed by words associations,for important issues (keeping in mind that some important concepts in a particular society might have no exact translation.
