Mae Cymru hefyd wedi buddsoddi £1\.33bn, sef 65%, o’r £2bn sydd wedi cael ei ddyrannu o gronfeydd strwythurol yr UE o dan raglenni 2014\-2020\.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyflwyno ei chais olaf i’r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd i hawlio £95m o dan raglenni 2007\-13\. Daw hyn â’r cyfanswm sydd wedi’i hawlio i’r uchafswm o £1\.8bn a oedd ar gael i’w ddyrannu yn ystod y cylch cyllido hwnnw. Mae’r cyllid hwn wedi arwain at fuddsoddi cyfanswm o £3\.4 biliwn. 

Golyga hyn mai Cymru yw un o’r rhanbarthau sy’n perfformio orau o fewn yr UE.

O ganlyniad i’r prosiectau yng Nghymru a gafodd gefnogaeth gan raglenni 2007\-13 yr UE cafodd 72,700 o bobl gymorth i gael gwaith, 234,400 o bobl gyfle i ennill cymwysterau, ac fe grëwyd 11,925 o fusnesau a 36,970 o swyddi.

Fe wnaeth y rhaglenni serennu, gyda’r prosiectau i helpu pobl i gael gwaith, ennill cymwysterau a chreu busnesau newydd yn llwyddo i gyrraedd dros ddwywaith y targed. 

Dywedodd yr Athro Drakeford: 


> “Rhwng 2007 a 2013, fe wnaeth arian yr UE gefnogi amrywiaeth o brosiectau o fudd i bobl, busnesau a chymunedau o bob cwr o Gymru.
> 
> “Cafodd y rhaglenni eu rhoi ar waith mewn cyfnod arbennig o heriol, lle cafodd Cymru ei tharo gan yr argyfwng ariannol ac yn economaidd byd\-eang.
> 
> “Mae gallu gwireddu’r canlyniadau hyn yn llwyddiant a hanner a hoffwn ddiolch i’n partneriaid am eu cyfraniad i sicrhau ei fod yn bosib.
> 
> “Mae cyllid yr Undeb Ewropeaidd hefyd wedi helpu i leihau’r bwlch rhwng Cymru a’r DU mewn meysydd fel cyflogaeth, gweithgarwch economaidd, sgiliau a buddsoddi mewn ymchwil ac arloesi.”

Dyma rai o’r mentrau newydd sbon a gafodd gefnogaeth yng nghylch ariannu 2007\-13 yr UE: 

* £40m i Gampws Arloesi Prifysgol Abertawe lle mae 5,000 o fyfyrwyr yn astudio ar hyn o bryd. Disgwylir y bydd yn denu miloedd yn fwy dros y blynyddoedd nesaf;
* £85m ar gyfer dros 79,600 o brentisiaethau a thros 12,400 o gyfnodau hyfforddi ledled Cymru gyda chyflogwyr sy’n cynnwys Airbus, Admiral a GE Aviation;
* £3m i adnewyddu Lido Ponty, sydd wedi denu bron i 100,000 o ymwelwyr hyd yn hyn;
* £13\.5m i brosiect ymchwil ac arloesi cydweithredol ‘SEACAMS’ i gefnogi sector gwyddor y môr yng Nghymru;
* £4\.3m i Academi Hwylio Genedlaethol a Chanolfan Digwyddiadau Plas Heli ym Mhwllheli;
* Dros £130m tuag at y gwaith o ddatblygu prif ffyrdd, gan gynnwys yr A465 Blaenau’r Cymoedd a Ffordd yr Harbwr ym Mhort Talbot, ynghyd â gwelliannau i orsafoedd trenau ledled Cymru.

Dyma’r buddsoddiadau sydd wedi’i gwneud hyd yn hyn o dan gylch ariannu 2014\-2020:

* £64m ar gyfer gwneud gwaith adnewyddu sylweddol i’r A40 yn Sir Benfro a’r A55 yn y Gogledd;
* £4\.6m i gefnogi’r gwaith o ddatblygu Canolfan Ymchwil Delweddu’r Ymennydd ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, CUBRIC;
* £76m ar gyfer Cronfa Fusnes Cymru sy’n helpu Busnesau Bach a Chanolig Cymru i ehangu drwy gynnig benthyciadau a buddsoddiadau ecwiti;
* £1\.7m ar gyfer prosiect STEM Cymru 2 i hyrwyddo gyrfaoedd mewn diwydiannau STEM ymhlith pobl ifanc Cymru;
* £27\.7m ar gyfer y cynllun Cyrchfannau Denu, dan arweiniad Croeso Cymru, i greu 11 o leoliadau mae’n rhaid ymweld â nhw ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys Canolfan Forol Porthcawl a menter Adnewyddu Glannau a Chanol Tref Caernarfon.

Ychwanegodd yr Athro Drakeford: 


> “Dw i’n hyderus y byddwn ni’r un mor llwyddiannus wrth fuddsoddi arian yr Undeb Ewropeaidd sydd wedi’i ddyrannu i Gymru ar gyfer 2014\-20 cyn i’r Deyrnas Unedig ymadael â’r Undeb Ewropeaidd.
> 
> “Mae’n hanfodol bod Cymru’n cael yr un lefel o gyllid ag yr ydyn ni’n ei gael ar hyn o bryd gan yr Undeb Ewropeaidd o goffrau’r Deyrnas Unedig ar ôl 2020 fel ein bod yn gallu parhau i fynd i’r afael â’r heriau hirdymor a chefnogi ein heconomi i dyfu.”

And Wales has invested £1\.33bn \- 65% \- of the £2bn EU structural funds allocation as part of the 2014\-20 programmes.

The Welsh Government has submitted its final claim to the European Commission of £95m, in relation to the 2007\-13 programmes, bringing the total amount drawn down to the maximum £1\.8bn allocated during that funding round, driving a total investment of £3\.4 billion. 

This makes Wales one of the best performing EU regions.

Projects supported by the 2007\-13 EU programmes in Wales helped 72,700 people into work; 234,300 people to gain qualifications and created 11,925 businesses and 36,970 jobs.

The programmes  exceeded key targets, including more than doubling those for helping people into work, gaining qualifications and creating new businesses.  

Professor Drakeford said: 


> “Between 2007 and 2013, EU funding supported a wide range of projects, benefiting people, businesses and communities across Wales.  
> 
> “The programmes were delivered in particularly challenging times, during which Wales was hit by a global financial and economic crisis.
> 
> “To deliver these results is a fantastic achievement and I would like to thank our partners in making a success of these programmes.
> 
> “EU funding has also helped to narrow the gap between Wales and the UK in areas such as employment, economic activity, skills and investment in research and innovation.”

Some of the flagship initiatives supported during the 2007\-13 EU funding round include:

* £40m for Swansea University’s Innovation Campus where 5,000 students are currently studying. It is expected to attract thousands more in the coming years;
* £85m for more than 79,600 apprenticeships and more than 12,400 traineeships across Wales at employers including Airbus, Admiral and GE Aviation;
* £3m for the restoration of the Lido Ponty, which has so far attracted almost 100,000 visitors;
* £13\.5m for the collaborative research and innovation ‘SEACAMS’ project to support Wales’ marine science sector;
* £4\.3m for Plas Heli Wales’ National Sailing Academy and Events Centre in Pwllheli;
* More than £130m for the development of major roads, including the Heads of the Valleys A465 and Harbour Way in Port Talbot as well as improvements to train stations across Wales.

Investments to date in the current 2014\-20 funding round include:

* £64m for major upgrades to the A40 in Pembrokeshire and the A55 in North Wales;
* £4\.6m to support the development of Cardiff University’s new world\-leading Brain Research Imaging Centre, CUBRIC;
* £76m for the Wales Business Fund which is helping Welsh SMEs to grow by providing loans and equity investments;
* £1\.7m for the STEM Cymru 2 project to promote careers in STEM industries to young people in Wales;
* £27\.7m for the Attractor Destinations scheme, led by Visit Wales, to create 11 must\-see destinations across Wales, including Porthcawl Maritime Centre and the Caernarfon Town and Waterfront Regeneration initiative.

Professor Drakeford added: 


> “I am confident we will be equally successful in investing the EU funds allocated to Wales for 2014–20 before the UK leaves the EU.
> 
> “It is vital Wales receives replacement funding from UK sources after 2020 at the same level we currently receive from the EU so we can continue to address long\-term challenges and support our economy to grow.”
