Ombella-M'Poko is one of the 20 prefectures of the Central African Republic. Its capital is Boali since 10 December 2020, after the former capital Bimbo had to become part of Bangui Prefecture. In 2024, official estimates suggest the population reached 292,618 inhabitants.
One important tourist attraction is the Waterfalls of Boali; however, due to the Boali dam, the falls only carry water on the weekends.
