Haut-Katanga, Administrative province in southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

The province covers 132,425 square kilometers and contains two major urban centers, Lubumbashi and Likasi, along with six additional territories.

The territory emerged from the division of the former Katanga Province in 2015, following the implementation of constitutional reforms initiated in 2006.

French serves as the official language, while Swahili maintains strong regional usage among the three million inhabitants across different communities.

The provincial administration operates from Lubumbashi, managing public services and infrastructure development for the territories of Kambove, Kasenga, Kipushi, Mitwaba, Pweto, and Sakania.

The province forms part of Central Africa's Copperbelt region, containing substantial mineral deposits that position it as a major global copper production center.
