Language Policy in Africa (LPIA) is a journal supporting the idea that African languages are key to Africa's development, also in the context of decolonisation. LPIA seeks original and sound articles that may help to shape practical, efficient, rational, and inclusive African language-based policies on the whole continent.

LPIA is open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed. There are no Article Processing Charges. It is published twice a year under the auspices of the Edinburgh Circle on the Promotion of African Languages (ECPAL), Initiative Afrique  of the University of Bern.
