Sumario:The multidimensional crisis unleashed by the COVID19 pandemic has profoundly affected the businesses of micro and small enterprises in Latin America, but in a differentiated way depending on their resilience capabilities, their participation in value chains and different markets, as well as the performance capabilities of the systems of public and civil society actors that support it in one way or another. The article presents a literature review and develops a conceptual framework as to the nature of resilience capabilities at the meso-territorial and micro-organizational scale, of MSMEs, their associations and value chains, as well as the coalitions of actors supporting them. These arguments are critically taken up in the analytical discussion of the resilience capabilities demonstrated in the practice of these territorial systems of actors, in the face of the rupture caused by the multidimensional crisis of COVID-19 in the dynamics of local economic development in the three municipalities of the Trifinio region of El Salvador. It takes up the results of applied research carried out with the aim of knowing the effects of COVID19 mitigation measures on the fabric of MSMEs in these municipalities in 2020.
