Does your agency determine the ToRs for the externally appointed staff of the PIU, rather than the relevant government institutions (e.g. ministries, agencies, departments)?    
Does your agency appoint most of the professional staff of the PIU, rather than the relevant government institutions (e.g. ministries, agencies, departments)?

Operational Responsibilities
Do the PIU staff appointed by the Donor have responsibility for the management of implementation issues, rather than the relevant government institutions (e.g. ministries, agencies, departments) making these decisions?    
Note 1: If all your answers are "Yes", the PIU is classified as a Parallel PIU. On the other hand, if all the answers are "No", the PIU is classified as an Integrated PIU.
Note 2: If there are some "Yes" answers and some "No", your PIU is classified as a Semi-Integrated PIU, i.e., neither a Parallel PIU nor an Integrated PIU, but located on the continuum between a Parallel PIU and an Integrated PIU.
(For further information and help in classifying the PIU in detail, see the Annex II: the PIU Reference Matrix.)
