This study investigated the strategies of livelihood securities in coping with climate change in
Kajiado Central Sub County, Kajiado County, Kenya. Guided by Resilience Theory, which
emphasizes community empowerment and adaptive capacity, the research explored three key
objectives: (1) identifying the types of livelihood securities most vulnerable to climate change, (2)
examining coping mechanisms employed by communities, and (3) analyzing the role of climate
information in livelihood decisions. A survey methodology was adopted, with data collected from
100 households across five villages (Irbisill, Oloika, Olchoro, Oloitokitok, and Lenkisim),
achieving a 90% response rate. Findings revealed that pastoralism and agriculture were the
dominant livelihoods, with pastoralists being the most vulnerable to climate impacts. Communities
employed diversification of livelihoods, water conservation, drought-resistant crops, and
alternative energy as key coping strategies. Climate information, disseminated through local
media, government, NGOs, and community meetings, significantly influenced decision-making,
though access to digital sources (e.g., internet) remained limited. The study concluded that
enhancing climate-smart practices, diversified livelihoods, and equitable access to climate
information is critical for building resilience. Recommendations include strengthening local
institutions, promoting irrigation and soil conservation, and addressing gaps in digital literacy to
improve adaptive capacity. The findings align with Resilience Theory, underscoring the need for
community-centric interventions to mitigate climate vulnerabilities in semi-arid regions.
