Description
Summary:	Innovation is a concept widely used in academia and the business world. However, it emerges intertwined with the profit-seeking and inequality inherent to the capitalist model which prioritizes the transactional over the relational. Inquiries into alternative innovation concepts have therefore aimed to create social value and assess an array of potential reformist and/or transformative effects. These alternatives, however, often fail to take into account ontologies and epistemologies of populations in diverse contexts and territories. The concept of communal innovation emerges out of these shortcomings, prioritizing the collaborative creation of common resources and resulting in the strengthening of the community and social fabric. The aforementioned collaboration occupies a central place in community processes of socio-technical change. The qualitative research presented here is based on two case studies rooted in post-agreement/post-conflict contexts in Guapi - Colombia and Aura - Uganda. The main objective is to explain the implications of collaboration on local innovation ecosystems in the territories of the Guajuí River Community Council in Guapi, and the Rhino Refugee Camp in Arua. The result is the systematization of the two community-based innovation ecosystems, as well as the highlighting of key actors, their roles, relations and the environment in which they develop, including its values, knowledge, public policies, natural environment and infrastructure. Finally, the conclusions illustrate how the collaboration processes in these case studies undergo decision-making-based governance, the creation of shared norms, authentic reciprocity, the autonomy of organizations and the construction of trust through initiatives of socio-technical change, especially those centered on resilience and co-existence.
