Abstract: Abstract This study examines the characteristics and resourcing activities of community-based sharing economy models at the base of the pyramid (BoP) through a case study of two sharing economy-based initiatives of a global development organisation. Findings suggest temporary and customised resource access, platform-mediated transactions, mission and ownership as the key characteristics of these sharing economy-based initiatives. Further, findings present key resourcing activities and value creation mechanisms of these models and highlight the roles of local and institutional actors in the resourcing and value creation processes. Findings contribute to the sharing economy literature by linking actors, resourcing activities and value creation in sharing economy models at the BoP.
