Abstract: Enhancing Capability Wellbeing through Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) strategically aims to improve Stability, Attachment, Autonomy, Achievement, and Enjoyment at both individual and community levels, and set a path towards sustainable community development. This study examined the effectiveness of community education interventions in enhancing capability well-being among women, farmers, and youths. The sample included (n) = 210 participants aged 20 to 50 years (Mean = 39.58, SD = 11.47). The intervention produced significant improvements across all five domains of capability well-being. Stability scores increased from pre-test (M = 8.28, SD = 1.66) to post-test (M = 11.08, SD = 1.68), t (219) = 48.40, p < .001, followed Attachment improved from pre-test (M = 1.28, SD = 0.46) to post-test (M = 1.32, SD = 0.49), t (219) = 2.87, p < .01, Autonomy rose from pre-test (M = 2.00, SD = 0.39) to post-test (M = 2.93, SD = 0.38), t (219) = 40.84, p < .001, while Achievement increased from pre-test (M = 1.48, SD = 0.50) to post-test (M = 2.41, SD = 0.57), t (219) = 44.58, p < .001 and Enjoyment scores also showed a marked rise from pre-test (M = 2.31, SD = 0.48) to post-test (M = 3.10, SD = 0.47), t (219) = 26.82, p < .001. The community education interventions effectively enhanced the capability wellbeing through a supportive and conducive environment mobilized in the village. The intervention also contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 3, ensuring a good health and well-being pathway for sustainable community development.
