Kasaï-Central is one of the 21 provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Kasaï-Central and Kasaï provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Kasaï-Occidental province. Kasaï-Central was formed from the Lulua district and the independently administered city of Kananga which retained its status as a provincial capital. The 2020 population was estimated to be 4,045,300.

The new province's territory corresponds to the historic Luluabourg Province which existed in the early period after independence between 1963 and 1966.


Within this province, there are 5 territories which are named:

  1. Demba 4. Kazumba
  2. Dibaya 5. Luiza
  3. Dimbelenge
