Abstract: Despite the extensive efforts made by the United Nations and other agencies to achieve a food secure world, food insecurity remains a major issue in poor countries.

Kitui County is one of Kenyas worst-affected regions in this regard, and the situation could have a variety of consequences for ECD students. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of food security strategies used to enhance academic competencies of ECD children in Mutomo, Kitui County. Maslows theory of wants and the cause and effect theory of attention drove the research. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design.
