Mae adroddiad newydd gan yr arbenigwyr rhanbarthol Y Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd (OECD) yn rhoi tystioalaeth i gefnogi dull Llywodraeth Cymru o gefnogi datblygiad economaidd rhanbarthol yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol.


Comisiynwyd yr OECD i roi cyngor ac i’n herio, ac i rannu arferion gorau rhyngwladol gyda ni, wrth inni weithredu ein Cynllun Gweithredu Economaidd newydd a datblygu cynlluniau newydd ar gyfer Buddsoddi Rhanbarthol yng Nghymru wedi Brexit.


Bu OECD yn gweithio ers deunaw mis, ac mae wedi golygu gwaith ymchwil eang, dadansoddi a thrafod gyda Llywodraeth Cymru a’n partneriaid ledled Cymru.


Mae’r adroddiad a gyhoeddwyd heddiw o dan y teitl Dyfodol Datblygiad Rhanbarthol a Buddsoddiad Cyhoeddus yng Nghymru, y Deyrnas Unedig yn cefnogi mwy o lunio polisïau ar y cyd ar gyfer datblygu rhanbarthol ac yn awgrymu ffyrdd newydd o gryfhau llywodraethu a datblygu rhanbarthol, a ffyrdd gwell o greu capasiti. Mae hefyd yn rhannu argymhellion ar gyfer gweithredu gyda Llywodraeth Cymru ac awdurdodau lleol yng Nghymru.


Mae llawer o’r gwaith hwn eisoes wedi dechrau, ac mae OECD bellach yn gweithio ar ddatblygu pecyn ymarferol i bartneriaid rhanbarthol ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi’r newidiadau hyn.


Meddai Lamia Kamal\-Chaoui, Cyfarwyddwr Canolfan OECD ar gyfer Entrepreneuriaeth, Busnesau Bach a Chanolig, Rhanbarthau a Dinasoedd:



> “Mae’n bosibl i Gymru sicrhau gwell twf, cynhwysiant a llesiant trwy ddatblygiad rhanbarthol integredig yn seiliedig ar le a buddsoddiad cyhoeddus.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r adroddiad hwn yn cynnig ystod o argymhellion yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth fydd yn helpu i lywio’r dulliau hyn o ddatblygu rhanbarthol, a hoffem ddiolch i bob un o’r sefydliadau yng Nghymru sydd wedi cyfrannu at y gwaith hwn ac wedi rhoi gwybodaeth werthfawr inni dros y 18 mis diwethaf.”


Meddai Ken Skates, Gweinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth:



> “Ein nod cyffredinol ar gyfer rhanbarthiaeth a dull yn seiliedig ar le yw i benderfyniadau gael eu gwneud ar y pwynt sydd yn fwyaf gwerthfawr i bobl Cymru.  Caiff y dull hwn ei greu drwy bartneriaeth gyda’r sectorau cyhoeddus, preifat, cymunedol a’r trydydd sector ac rwy’n falch iawn bod OECD wedi cefnogi’r gwaith hwn.
> 
> 
> “Mae y newidiadau yr ydym wedi eu hamlinellu drwy’r Cynllun Gweithredu Economaidd i hybu economïau ledled Cymru yn rhai dwfn, fel ein huchelgais i weithio mewn partneriaeth gryfach yng Nghymru i hybu twf cynhwysol a chynaliadwy.  Nid oes neb gwell na OECD i helpu inni gyflawni hyn ac rwy’n diolch iddyn nhw am eu gwaith.”


Meddai Jeremy Miles, y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a’r Gweinidog dros Bontio Ewropeaidd:



> “Mae ein strategaeth ar gyfer buddsoddi rhanbarthol yn yr UE wedi helpu i wella a datblygu ein heconomi, ond mae’n amlwg y bydd angen inni barhau i fuddsoddi i fynd i’r afael â’r heriau economaidd presennol, a heriau newydd yr ydym yn eu hwynebu.
> 
> 
> “Nid ydym am ailgreu model yr UE yng Nghymru – rydym wedi ymrwymo i greu dull newydd o weithredu yng Nghymru sy’n adlewyrchu arfer gorau yn rhyngwladol, yn adeiladu ar ein ddeddfwriaeth benodol, ac yn cyflawni i bob un o’n busnesau, ein cymunedau a’n pobl.”


Bydd y bartneriaeth hon gydag OECD yn helpu i gryfhau ein dull o weithio ac yn rhoi hyder i’n partneriaid y gellir llunio partneriaethau newydd a deinamig i arloesi ac i rannu polisïau mewn dulliau ffres a gwreiddiol.

The Welsh Government commissioned the OECD to advise, challenge and share international best practice as it implements the Economic Action Plan and develops new plans for Regional Investment in Wales now we’ve left the European Union.


Work by the OECD has been underway for eighteen months, and has involved extensive research, analysis and engagement with the Welsh Government and partners across Wales.


The report published today, entitled The Future of Regional Development and Public Investment in Wales, United Kingdom supports more joined\-up policy making for regional development and public investment, suggesting new ways to strengthen its governance. The report also proposes ways to better build capacity and shares recommendations\-for\-action to Welsh Government and Welsh local authorities.


Much of this work is already underway, and the OECD is now working on the development of a practical toolkit for regional partners to use to support those changes.


Lamia Kamal\-Chaoui, Director of the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities said:



> “There is potential in Wales to reverse trends of low labour productivity – among the lowest in the UK – and build on average well\-being performance by using place\-based, integrated regional development policy and targeted public investment. Special attention to investment that increases the skills of the Welsh labour force and addressees youth unemployment, improves access to internet connectivity and generates high\-performing transport networks, and advances R\&D and innovation by small, medium and large enterprises alike could all contribute to successful growth and well\-being in Wales.
> 
> 
> “We would like to thank all of the Welsh organisations that have contributed to this work and provided valuable insight over the last 18 months.”


Minister for Economy and Transport Ken Skates said:



> “I am delighted the OECD has supported this work. Our overall aim for regionalism and a place\-based approach is for decisions to be made at the point most valuable to the people of Wales. This approach is very much built through partnerships with the public, private, and third sectors as well as local communities.
> 
> 
> “The changes we have outlined through the Economic Action Plan to boost regional economies across Wales are profound, as is our ambition for stronger regional partnership working in Wales to boost inclusive and sustainable growth. There is no\-one better to help us deliver this than the OECD and I thank them for their work.”


Counsel General and Minister for European Transition Jeremy Miles said:



> “Our strategy for EU regional investment has helped improve and grow our economy, but it’s clear we’ll need to continue to invest to address existing, and new, economic challenges we face.
> 
> 
> “We are not looking to simply replicate the EU model in Wales – we are committed to creating a new, made\-in\-Wales approach that reflects international best practice, builds on our distinctive legislative landscape, and delivers for all of our businesses, communities and people.”


This partnership with the OECD will help strengthen our approach and give confidence to our partners that new and dynamic partnerships can be formed to innovate and share policies in fresh and imaginative ways.
