Tanganyika District is one of the districts of Katavi
Region. The headquarters is Mpanda. Until the beginning of 2016 this
district was known as “Mpanda Rural District” (Mpanda District Council).
The name comes from Lake Tanganyika located on the eastern border of
the area.

The 2012 population census results put the Mpanda DC population at 119,939 persons out of which, females account for 50.0 percent of the population or 60,026
