Velyki Kopani rural hromada (Ukrainian: Великокопанівська сільська об'єднана територіальна громада) is a hromada (community) in southern Ukraine, located in Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast. Its administrative center is the village Velyki Kopani.[1]
It has an area of 112.8 square kilometres (43.6 mi2), and a population of 6,887.[1]
Settlements
The community includes two villages (Velyki Kopani and Dobrosillia) and one rural-type settlement: Abrykosivka.[1]
History
In 2016, when the hromada was formed, it merged the Abrykosivka hromada and the previous Velyki Kopani hromada, both of which were previously located within the Oleshky Raion for a total of around 7,000 residents.[2] Since the merger, the hromada has moved to direct budget relations within the state, created a local administrative state center, and drafted sustainable development strategies aided by the USAID DOBRE program.[2] The main challenges for the hromada have been poor road infrastructure and tax leakage.[2]
The first elections for the village head of the hromada were held shortly after its formation in 2016 on 18 December 2016.[3] In 2020, with the help of USAID, the hromada's IT strategy was developed of aim for the implementation of digital solutions.[4] Pursuant to this, the official website was created along with pages on social media networks, electronic queues were implemented, and open wi-fi zones were placed around the hromada from the community budget.[4] Also during this year due to administrative-territorial reform and the liquidation of the Oleshky Raion, the hromada was incorporated into the Kherson Raion.[5]
