Ym mis Ionawr, bu imi gadarnhau, yn dilyn yr adolygiad mewnol o raglen Genesis Cymru Wales 2, bod tangyflawni wedi'i nodi mewn perthynas â recriwtio, gwariant ac allbynnau perfformio. Mae'r adolygiad yn nodi cyfleoedd i wella canlyniadau drwy ddulliau eraill o gyflenwi, gan gynnwys darparu'r cymorth sydd ar gael drwy raglen Genesis drwy raglenni cyflogadwyedd eraill.

Oherwydd hyn, gofynnais i swyddogion edrych ar y rhesymau am y tangyflawni ac i ystyried argymhelliad i gau rhaglen Genesis Cymru Wales 2 yn gynnar.  
Fel rhan o'r adolygiad, mae'r opsiynau posibl eraill ar gyfer darparu'r cymorth sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd drwy'r rhaglen Genesis wedi'u harchwilio'n fanwl a'u trafod gyda phartneriaid cyflenwi yr Awdurdod Lleol, WEFO a rhanddeiliaid pwysig eraill.

Rwyf wedi ystyried yn llawn yr argymhelliad a wnaethpwyd yn dilyn yr adolygiad ac wedi gwneud y penderfyniad i fynd ymlaen â'r broses o gau rhaglen Genesis yn gynnar o fis Gorffennaf 2013\.

Rwy'n cydnabod bod rhaglen Genesis wedi helpu rhai pobl ar eu llwybr i waith.  Fodd bynnag, mae'r adolygiad yn pwysleisio'n glir nad yw'r perfformiad yn cymharu'n ffafriol â rhaglenni eraill sy'n rhoi cymorth i grwpiau tebyg anodd eu cyrraedd gael gwaith.

Mae swyddogion mewn trafodaethau ar hyn o bryd â'r Penaethiaid Gwasanaeth perthnasol ym mhob Awdurdod Lleol i ddatblygu'r opsiynau sydd ar gael i symud y rhai hynny sydd ar y rhaglen Genesis i raglenni cyflogadwyedd eraill.  Fel Dirprwy Weinidog Sgiliau a Thechnoleg, rwyf wedi canolbwyntio, ac am barhau i ganolbwyntio, ar ddod o hyd i ddulliau eraill o wella canlyniadau i gyfranogwyr.

In January, I confirmed that, following an internal review of the Genesis Cymru Wales 2 programme, under\-performance had been identified in relation to its recruitment, expenditure and performance outputs. The review identified opportunities to improve outcomes through alternative modes of delivery, including integration of the support available through the Genesis programme within other existing employability programmes.


As such, I asked officials to explore the reasons for under\-performance and to consider a recommendation for a phased, early closure of Genesis Cymru Wales 2\.  

As part of the review the potential alternative options for providing the support currently available through the Genesis programme have been explored in detail and discussed with Local Authority delivery partners, WEFO and other key stakeholders.


I have fully considered the recommendation made following the review and have taken the decision to proceed with a phased early closure of the Genesis programme from July 2013\.


I recognise that the Genesis programme has helped some people on their pathway to work. However, the review clearly highlighted that performance does not compare favourably with other programmes seeking to support similarly hard to reach groups into employment.


Officials are in active discussions with the relevant Heads of Service in all Local Authorities to take forward available options for the transition of Genesis participants into alternative employability programmes. As Deputy Minister for Skills and Technology, my focus has been, and will continue to be, the identification of opportunities to improve outcomes for participants through alternative modes of delivery.
