From 12 to 18 November, UNOAU supported the assessment of the Sierra Leone Formed Police Unit (FPU-6), expected to deploy to the AU Transition Mission (ATMIS) on rotation. UNOAU joined the Formed Police Assessment Team (FPAT) constituted by the AU to assess the operational capability of FPU-6. UNOAU provided technical support during the process in line with relevant AU policy and guidelines. A total of 287 FPU personnel were presented to the AU-FPAT to assess, out of which 239 officers were certified, including 201 male and 38 female. The certified officers will shortly deploy to the mission in Somalia.
