Équateur is one of the 21 new provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Équateur, Mongala, Nord-Ubangi, Sud-Ubangi, and Tshuapa provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Équateur province.[2] The new province was formed from the Équateur district and the independently administered city of Mbandaka which retained its status as a provincial capital.
