Content_paragraphs:  In line with the Action for Peacekeeping commitments, MONUSCO pursued a
  
  high level of peacekeeping performance, while also taking actions to enhance
  
  protection provided by the force. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, inspections of
  
  military units were suspended and did not resume until 14 September. Despite the
  
  suspension, the MONUSCO police component was able to continue performance
  
  evaluations, with five of the six formed police units rated as “satisfactory”. The sixth
  
  formed police unit was excluded from the evaluation owing to several officers testing
  
  positive for COVID-19 and the unit being quarantined. The issue of contingent-owned
  
  equipment continues to have a negative impact on the performance of the units. The
  
  timely replacement of equipment belonging to the units by police-contributing
  
  countries would enhance the performance of the units. Furthermore, the Mission
  
  continued to encourage police-contributing countries to increase the proportion of
  
  female personnel in formed police units, which currently stands at 12.8 per cent.
