Mae’r datganiad hwn yn cyflwyno’r newyddion diweddaraf ynghylch gwaith y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen ar y Gymraeg a Datblygu Economaidd, yn dilyn ei sefydlu ym mis Rhagfyr 2012\.  

O dan arweiniad ei Gadeirydd, Elin Rhys, mae’r grŵp wedi dechrau archwilio’r cysylltiadau rhwng y Gymraeg a Datblygu Economaidd.  

Ceir ymrwymiad yn Strategaeth y Gymraeg Llywodraeth Cymru i archwilio’r holl gysylltiadau rhwng yr economi a’r Gymraeg. Rwyf wedi gofyn i’r Grŵp ystyried y ffordd orau o bennu a datblygu dulliau ymarferol o feithrin perthynas bositif rhwng y Gymraeg a datblygu economaidd.

Golyga cylch gorchwyl ehangach y Grŵp y bydd yn canolbwyntio ar ffactorau sy’n benodol ac yn uniongyrchol berthnasol i dwf economaidd, darparu swyddi, creu cyfoeth a lles y Gymraeg.  

Gall y Grŵp fanteisio ar arbenigedd a phrofiad helaeth ac amrywiol ei aelodau, sy’n deillio o waith yng Nghymru a thramor, sy’n cynnwys busnes, entrepreneuriaeth a pholisi cyhoeddus. Gall y Grŵp hefyd fanteisio ar ei gysylltiadau â grwpiau cynghori eraill gan gynnwys Cyngor Partneriaeth y Gymraeg, yr Adolygiad o Gyllid Sector Preifat i Fusnesau yng Nghymru a Grŵp y Dinas\-ranbarthau.

Cynhaliwyd cyfarfod cyntaf y Grŵp ym mis Ionawr yng Nghaerdydd a bu’n adolygu canlyniadau gwaith blaenorol, gan gynnwys gwaith gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg.  

Cynhaliwyd yr ail gyfarfod yn Abertawe ym mis Chwefror a bu’r Grŵp yn adolygu’r dystiolaeth bresennol ynghyd â bylchau o ran y farchnad lafur a’r Gymraeg. Trafodwyd polisi Llywodraeth Cymru mewn perthynas â datblygu economaidd yn ogystal, gan gynnwys effaith yr Ardaloedd Menter a Dinas\-Ranbarthau a’r cyfleoedd a gynigir o safbwynt y Gymraeg.

Yng nghyfarfod nesaf y Grŵp yr wythnos hon bydd y Grŵp yn ystyried y dystiolaeth sydd wedi’i chasglu hyd yma ac yn sefydlu ffrydiau gwaith ar gyfer ystyried agweddau penodol ar y gwaith. Bydd yr aelodau yn arsylwi ar y ffrydiau gwaith hyn. Bydd hefyd yn ystyried y busnesau amrywiol y bydd yn casglu tystiolaeth ganddynt.  

Yng nghyfarfodydd y dyfodol, bydd y Grŵp yn manteisio ar ei arbenigedd a’i ganfyddiadau ac yn gwahodd rhagor o randdeiliaid i gyflwyno eu sylwadau. Golyga hyn y gall y Grŵp fanteisio ar y sylfaen ehangaf bosibl o dystiolaeth  er mwyn ddatblygu a chyflenwi strategaeth ar gyfer mynd ati ar y cyd i hybu’r Gymraeg a datblygu economaidd.  

Byddwn yn croesawu unrhyw sylwadau gan yr Aelodau ynghylch gwaith y Grŵp a byddaf yn sicrhau eu bod yn cael eu rhannu â’r Grŵp.

This Statement provides an update on the work of the Task and Finish Group on the Welsh Language and Economic Development following its establishment in December 2012\.


Under the guidance of its Chair, Elin Rhys, the group has commenced its work to explore the links between the Welsh Language and Economic Development.  


The Welsh Government’s Welsh Language Strategy gives a commitment to explore the links between the economy and the Welsh language across the board. I have asked the Group to examine how we might identify and develop practical approaches to foster the positive relationship between the Welsh language and economic development.


Within the wider terms of reference, the Group will focus its attention on factors which have specific and direct relevance to economic growth, the provision of jobs, the creation of wealth, and the well\-being of the Welsh language.


The Group is able to draw on the wide\-range of expertise and experience of its membership, which has been gained both at home and internationally, and includes business, entrepreneurship and public policy.  The Group is also able to draw on its links to other advisory groups notably the Welsh Language Partnership Council, the Review of Welsh Business Access to Private Sector Finance and the City Regions Group.


The first meeting of the Group in January was held in Cardiff, and the Group reviewed outcomes from previous work, including that of the Welsh Government and the Welsh Language Board.


The second meeting was held in Swansea in February and the Group reviewed existing evidence and gaps in relation to the labour market and the Welsh Language. Welsh Government economic development policy, including Enterprise Zones and City Regions were also discussed in relation to their impact on and the opportunities offered to the Welsh language.


At its next meeting, being held this week, the Group will be considering the evidence gathered to date and establishing work\-streams to consider specific aspects of the work to be overseen by members. It will also consider the range of businesses from which it intends to take evidence.


In future meetings, drawing upon their expertise and findings, the Group will invite further stakeholders to attend and present their views.  This will enable the Group to draw from the widest possible base of evidence to develop and deliver a strategy for jointly promoting the Welsh language and economic development.


I would be pleased to receive any views from Members on the work that the Group is undertaking and I will ensure that these are shared with the Group.
