Contingent_owned_equipment
Contingent Owned Equipment (COE) is the equipment owned and brought by United Nations member states to peacekeeping missions.[1] The UN financially reimburses member states for their contributions of COE, and also for the self sustainment services they provide to contingents. This method of reimbursement is commonly referred to as the “COE System". UN staff in peacekeeping missions serve as COE inspectors, verifying that the member states' equipment and the services they provide meet the standards required for reimbursement.
