Research, Policy and Practice

Table 2 Village clusters in each of the four study sites, the total number of households and number of sampled households from each cluster. A village cluster is a group of neighbouring villages. So, for example, for Amboseli, the villages Iloirero, Oltotoi, Olchani Arro, Oltepesi and Inchilishil form one cluster of neighbouring villages

From: Comparative social demography, livelihood diversification and land tenure among the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania
