Abstract
Studies of the resolved stellar populations in nearby systems are crucial to understand galaxy evolution. Here, we summarize how the interpretation of the colour-magnitude diagrams of field stars in late-type dwarfs inside and outside the Local Group has allowed us to infer their star formation histories and put useful constraints on the evolution of this type of galaxies.
