Nodding syndrome is a chronic debilitating disease that weakens muscles and makes the head loll on the shoulders, it is also characterized with seizures. Over the years nodding syndrome has affected a big community in Northern Uganda. In 2012, there were an estimated 3000 individuals living with nodding syndrome, a few years later, studies indicate a gross impact that spread to more than 8000 children commonly between the ages of 5-15 years and expanding from initial 3 districts (Pader, Kitgum and Lamwo) to also Gulu, Amuru, Oyam, Lira and Omoro districts.
