Local development initiatives are collective responses that seek the development of a locality or region. They aim to improve the living conditions of the social environment through the generation of employment, infrastructure and public services. There is a community's suspended participation to collaborate on solving problems, which use resources that are inside or outside their territory. The work's frame is a rural area of the municipality of Ameca, Jalisco, known as the downstream area, composed by 17 towns of less than a thousand inhabitants, which includes a study period of 1990-2017. The study is of explanatory type, and the information comes from the interview with key informants from the localities of the study area. The results of the study allow the identification of 34 local development initiatives, of which four are local economic development initiatives and thirty local development initiatives.

Palabras clave : Local economic development; local development initiatives; local actors; Ameca; Jalisco.
