| Abstract: | This study explores the drivers of livelihood changes and diversification among Maasai pastoralists in Kajiado County, Kenya. The Maasai, traditionally reliant on livestock keeping, are experiencing significant shifts in their livelihood strategies due to various factors. By examining these drivers, policymakers and development practitioners can better understand the dynamics of Maasai livelihoods and design effective interventions to support their adaptive strategies and promote sustainable livelihood practices. The research utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Primary data was gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys conducted among Maasai pastoralist communities. Secondary data sources, including reports and scholarly articles, provided additional insights into the livelihood challenges and opportunities faced by the Maasai. The findings highlight several key drivers influencing livelihood changes and diversification among the Maasai pastoralists. These include environmental factors such as climate change and declining livestock productivity, economic opportunities arising from market demand shifts, education and exposure to new livelihood options, adaptation to climate change, and changing social dynamics within the community., Strengthening support systems is crucial, involving the provision of education and training programs tailored to alternative livelihoods, improved access to resources, and tailored financial services. Fostering market access and infrastructure development is also essential to connect Maasai pastoralists with potential buyers and improve the efficiency of goods and services movement. The research contributes to the existing knowledge on Maasai livelihoods by providing empirical evidence on the drivers of livelihood changes and diversification. The findings have practical implications for policymakers and development agencies seeking to enhance the resilience and well-being of Maasai pastoralist communities. By addressing the identified drivers and implementing the recommended interventions, sustainable livelihood practices can be promoted, ensuring the preservation of Maasai cultural heritage and improved livelihood outcomes. |
