16. The reporting period was characterized by the reduction in the number of AMISOM military personnel, as authorized by the Security Council in its resolution 2472 (2019), and by the onset of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic from March 2020. UNSOS implemented its mandate by utilizing a mix of service modalities, including a light staff footprint, the use of commercial third-party vendors and the provision of in-theatre services by AMISOM troops under the provisions of memorandums of understanding.
