Ombella-M'Poko is one of the 20 prefectures of the Central African Republic.[1][2] Its capital is Boali since 10 December 2020.[3] One important tourist attraction is the Falls of Boali; however, due to the Boali dam, the falls only carry water on the weekends.

Geography[edit]

The prefecture lies in the southwestern part of the country and borders the prefectures of Ouham to the north; Lobaye to the south; Ouham-Pendé, Nana-Mambéré, and Mambéré-Kadéï to the west; and Kémo, as well as the independent city of Bangui and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the east.
