Abstract

Promoting healthy nutritional behaviors in schoolchildren is still challenging since students' nutritional behaviors are influenced by multilevel determinants. This chapter unpacks a range of contextualized approaches that were the hallmarks of fostering ownership and sustainability of school-based nutrition education intervention (SBNEI) to transform nutritional behaviors in basic-level schoolchildren in a public school in Nepal. The chapter discusses three approaches to fostering the ownership and sustainability of the intervention undergoing a participatory action research (PAR) framework. The first approach is developing the intervention following the five-step bottom-up model. The second approach is considering the multilevel and multicomponent SBNEI. And the third approach is owning transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration. This chapter offers insightful learning space to the related field's teachers, educators, and researchers to consider contextualized approaches undergoing a PAR framework for fostering the ownership and sustainability of the school-based interventions.
