A team from the United Nations Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) has conducted a scheduled inspection of equipment and assets operated by the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF), currently serving under the United Nations Guard Unit Eleven (UNGU-XI) in Somalia.
The inspection was led by UNSOS Logistics Officer Mr. Suzdaliev Andrii, accompanied by Contingent-Owned Equipment Officer Maha Al-Khatteb.
The exercise aimed to assess mission-owned equipment for compliance with United Nations standards and to promote transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency within the peacekeeping mission.
“The exercise helps verify the condition and use of equipment in line with operational requirements, risk management, and the overall UN mandate,” Andrii said.
Captain Elapar Ali, the Contingent Logistics Officer for UNGU-XI, emphasized the significance of such inspections in maintaining mission readiness.
“Regular inspections ensure our logistics systems remain accountable, transparent, and aligned with UN expectations,” he said.
The inspection was attended by officers and soldiers of UNGU-XI, who underscored their commitment to upholding the highest standards of operational conduct and asset management as required under the UN framework.
