Google Baraza is a unique online platform [created about September/October 2010] with several goals:<br />  -  To bring Africans closer by allowing them to ask and answer questions [awarding points and reputation in the process]; <br />  -  To make the internet more locally relevant to Africans so they can get information about local businesses, entertainment, health, sports etc.

One of Google ’s<br />goals in Africa is to make the<br />internet more locally relevant<br />and bring more people online.<br /> One of the challenges of the<br />internet in Africa is that there is<br />a lack of local content online. At<br />Google, we find that users<br />search for information about<br />local businesses, entertainment,<br />health, etc but often don ’t find it<br />because the information is not<br />yet available online.  In order to<br />help bring more local content<br />online, Google engineers have<br />created Baraza to allow people in<br />countries across Africa to ask<br />questions and post answers to<br />questions from others.<br />Here are some quick tasks to try<br />out<br />- Answer a question on your<br />favorite topic - Find a question<br />by browsing labels<br />(e.g.,"Programming & Design") or<br />Search (e.g., "Economics")<br />- Ask a question that you have<br />been wondering about
