From the UN website it looks like poorer countries stand to make a (small) profit on deployment:
>Peacekeeping soldiers are paid by their own Governments according to their own national rank and salary scale. Countries volunteering uniformed personnel to peacekeeping operations are reimbursed by the UN at a standard rate, approved by the General Assembly, of a little over US$1,332 per soldier per month.

I would suspect this is fairly lucrative.
