Its main inhabitants are from the Hangaza and Washubi ethnic groups, who speak the Hangaza and Shubi languages, which are closely related to the Kinyarwanda and Kirundi languages.

Institutionally, the Ngara District Council is governed by an Executive Director and a Council of Councillors. The Council continues to implement various development projects, including infrastructure construction, providing loans to women and youth groups, and strengthening health and education services.
