Content_paragraphs:  Since June 2019, the police component has also implemented a performance
  
  evaluation system based on objective criteria for formed police units,  with a view to
  
  assessing their capacity to implement mandated tasks in respect of protecting
  
  civilians. During the reporting period, UNMISS completed the evaluation of five
  
  formed police units from three police-contributing countries. The evaluations covered
  
  such areas as mandate comprehension, policy and guidance compliance, command
  
  and control, protection of civilians, administration, sustainment, logistics and
  
  compliance with memorandums of understanding, training, conduct and discipline,
  
  and health and welfare. The evaluations concluded that the units were performing in
  
  a satisfactory manner overall and in accordance with the Mission’s requirements. The
  
  deployment of a police component comprising more than 30 per cent women, in
  
  addition to the deployment of a formed police unit comprising 50 per cent women,
  
  was assessed positively in terms of the units’ protection of civilians and community
  
  engagement efforts and was welcomed by the internally displaced persons
  
  community. The interaction by the units with the population has been evaluated as
  
  satisfactory or above for all units, and their United Nations predeployment training
  
  was rated as “excellent” across the board. Good practices included command and
  
  control for internal discipline for two formed police units, as well as their
  
  performance at the protection of civilian sites, in terms of working well with partners.
  
  Four units have been identified as having significant shortfalls in sustainment,
  
  receiving ratings of “needs improvement”. All five units were placed on a
  
  performance improvement plan, with three having made insufficient progress since
  
  the previous evaluation on their assigned improvement plan.
