Poverty and gender perspectives in marine spatial planning: lessons from Kwale County in coastal Kenya

https://doi.org/10.5878/mjpj-v424

This dataset was used for a report that provides an overview of three pilot cases of baseline data collection to better understand local communities’ dependence on marine resources and other livelihood activities, with emphasis on understanding the role of marine spatial zonation and resource manage-ment on poverty and gender equality. Pilot studies were conducted in Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar. This dataset only contains data from Kenya, in particular, from the Kwale county which is the southernmost coastal county. The survey employed a mixed-method crosssectional study design, collecting qualitative and quantitative data at different levels. The study adopted a multi-stage sampling procedure where three sub-counties in Kwale county that border the ocean front, Lunga Lunga, Msambweni, and Matuga were purposively selected in the first stage. In the second stage, nine locations bordering the ocean in these sub-counties were randomly selected, and thereafter villages selected randomly from the nine locations. The sampling of households in the villages was random and involved drawing transects across the villages and picking individual households randomly. The key method of primary data collection was face-to-face interviews. A survey questionnaire was developed. Quantitative data collection tools were digitized for electronic capture and transmission using Kobo Toolbox. The electronic questionnaire was uploaded to enumerators’ mobile smartphones using a unique Kobo Collect app. Data collected were submitted to a server daily. A total of 446 households were included in this dataset. This datasets is part of a wider data collection that comprises three countries: Kenya, Tanzania, and Madagascar.
