Bozoum is the capital of Ouham-Pendé, one of the 14 prefectures of the Central African Republic.

== History == In the Early 1920s Bozoum was chosen as the site for the Brethren Mission. On a hill right outside of the then Village, the Bassai mission station was established. Bassai is the name of a local mountain. While the mission has long been abandoned, the founder of the Brethren Mission in this part of Africa, James Gribble is buried there along with fellow missionary Lester W. Kennedy Sr.
