Équateur, Administrative province in Mbandaka, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The province encompasses 103,902 square kilometers of territory in the northwestern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, bordering the Congo River.
The province emerged from a 2015 administrative reorganization that divided the former Équateur region into five separate provinces, with Mbandaka remaining the capital.
French serves as the official language while Lingala functions as the national language across the eight administrative territories within the province.
The province maintains a population density of 18 inhabitants per square kilometer, with an estimated total population of 1,856,000 as recorded in 2020.
The region contains sections of the Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe wetland system, creating a network of waterways that shape local transportation patterns.
