Kakooge Town Council is an upcoming urban development situated in the central region of Uganda, on the southern side of Nakasongola District.

In FY 2018/19, a funding worth One hundred seventy-six Million shillings (176,000,000/=) was allocated to Kakooge Town council to assist them complete the unfinished works (upgrading community lane and drainage improvement). The project road is located on the left hand side of Kampala-Gulu Highway where it starts then traverses through a commercial area which was developed before 2010 and then connects to Kikadde Lubenge road (previously used as a national road before the construction of Kampala – Gulu highway). The road is a low traffic road whose terrain is gently sloping with earth road surface, but the rock type where it traverses is metamorphic rock of Precambrian age and basement complex systems. The project objectives were to reduce the long term costs of maintenance, to boost the economic value of the business structures along the road, reduce dust and have the road motor able throughout the year.
