This article preprint describes a dataset which provides socioeconomic and value perception interview data collected from 1,021 individuals living across three counties in Kenya: Turkana, Machakos and Narok. Together, the socioeconomic and interview data can be used to better understand the views of different communities and demographic groups across Kenya concerning climate change and extreme weather events. They also provide insight as to the intrinsic, social, emotional, epistemic, functional, and indigenous value associated with everyday household items. The data can be used by policymakers to inform development planning and to identify gaps in the available infrastructure. Additionally, researchers and development practitioners can use these data to design interventions which reflect the needs and values of communities in Kenya.
