Synergies Afrique des Grands Lacs est une revue francophone de recherche en sciences humaines, particulièrement ouverte aux travaux d’aménagement linguistique, de langues et littératures, de lexicologie, terminologie et traduction. Sa vocation est de mettre en oeuvre dans les six pays (Burundi, Rwanda, RD Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzanie) de l’Afrique des Grands lacs le Programme Mondial de Diffusion Scientifique Francophone en Réseau du GERFLINT, Groupe d’Etudes et de Recherches pour le Français Langue Internationale.
