This is the data that I collected during my PhD fieldwork in two Kenyan Maasai villages in October 2022. A part of the data is qualitative, coming from transcripts of two three-hour participatory workshops and some formal and informal interviews as well as from notes from participant observation. Another part of the data is quantitative, coming from 32 survey responses. The quantitative data was mostly used to assess how close the two Maasai villages were to 'frugal abundance', defined as a situation in which everyone lives well, the consumption is low and the material wants of everyone are satisfied. The qualitative data revolves around better understanding the cultural and institutional arrangements that made the Maasai close to frugal abundance in the first place as well as to letting the participants imagine how other societies could go in such directions. The quantitative data was analysed using basic statistical techniques, while the qualitative data was analysed through a thematic analysis following the usual tenets of the critical realist philosophy of science. The results will be published as part of my PhD thesis called 'Destination frugal abundance: How to move towards degrowth-aligned futures' in 2025. I also intend to use them in other peer-reviewed publications.
