It is a registered Australian charity and works in partnership with the Aspen Institute,[2] Economists for Peace and Security[3] the United Nations Global Compact, Center for Strategic and International Studies and Cranfield University.

It also collaborates with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Commonwealth Secretariat, UNDP and UN Peacebuilding Support Office.

BBC 2 Newsnight and ZDF Heute Journal (Germany) were found to be the programs whose editorial policies aligned their coverage most closely with the rankings of the GPI.
