Local authorities, along with partner organisations, will be able to apply for the capital investment for projects that promote economic regeneration and serve the aims of wider sustainable development with activities focussed on the individuals and areas most in need. 

 Carl Sargeant said the programme has a crucial part to play in driving prosperity and building resilient communities in all parts of Wales, rather than just in those areas that offer the best commercial returns.

 The Cabinet Secretary visited a scheme in Pontypridd, which has recently received regeneration funding, to launch the programme.

 Carl Sargeant said:

 
> “There are particular challenges around tackling inequality and developing well\-connected and sustainable communities in areas which are economically disadvantaged or blighted by earlier heavy industries. We also recognise there are different challenges in rural areas.
> 
>  "Local authorities and regional partnerships should use these funds to complement and reinforce the other investments we are making to widen prosperity such as the work being pursued under the City Deals, our investment in the Metros, proposals from the Valleys Taskforce and with the work to prepare for Wylfa Newydd. 
> 
>  "I am also keen that this new capital investment should act in support of the other programmes underway seeking to build more resilient communities, including our employability and skills programmes."

Carl Sargeant said resources would be focused on a limited number of investment proposals with a strong and clear economic basis for regeneration. The new regeneration programme will be able to invest in projects from April 2018 onwards. A National Regeneration Investment Panel will also be established which will be charged with ensuring that the investment available is utilised as effectively as possible across Wales.

Bydd awdurdodau lleol, ynghyd â sefydliadau partner, yn gallu gwneud cais am fuddsoddiad cyfalaf ar gyfer prosiectau sy'n hyrwyddo adfywio economaidd gyda'r nod o sicrhau datblygu cynaliadwy ehangach lle mae gweithgareddau'n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolion a'r ardaloedd y mae ei angen fwyaf arnynt. Dywedodd Carl Sargeant fod gan y rhaglen ran hanfodol i'w chwarae wrth sicrhau ffyniant a chreu cymunedau cryf ym mhob rhan o Gymru, yn hytrach na dim ond yr ardaloedd hynny sy'n cynnig yr elw masnachol gorau.

 I lansio'r rhaglen, aeth yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet i Bontypridd i ymweld â chynllun sydd wedi cael cyllid ar gyfer adfywio yn ddiweddar.

 Dywedodd Carl Sargeant:

 
> "Mae heriau penodol i'w goresgyn wrth fynd i'r afael ag anghydraddoldeb a datblygu cymunedau cynaliadwy sydd wedi'u cysylltu'n dda mewn ardaloedd sydd dan anfantais yn economaidd neu o dan gysgod diwydiannau trwm y gorffennol. Ry'n ni hefyd yn cydnabod bod ardaloedd gwledig yn wynebu heriau gwahanol.
> 
>  "Dylai awdurdodau lleol a phartneriaethau rhanbarthol ddefnyddio'r cyllid hwn i ategu buddsoddiadau eraill ry'n ni'n eu gwneud i wella ffyniant, fel y gwaith sy'n cael ei wneud fel rhan o'r Bargeinion Dinesig, buddsoddi yn y Metro, cynigion Tasglu'r Cymoedd, a'r paratoadau ar gyfer Wylfa Newydd.
> 
>  "Dw i hefyd yn awyddus i'r buddsoddi cyfalaf hwn gefnogi'r rhaglenni eraill sydd ar waith i adeiladu cymunedau cryfach, gan gynnwys ein rhaglenni cyflogadwyedd a sgiliau."

 Dywedodd Carl Sargeant y byddai adnoddau'n cael eu rhoi tuag at nifer cyfyngedig o gynigion ar gyfer buddsoddiadau sydd â sail economaidd gref ac amlwg ar gyfer adfywio. Bydd y rhaglen adfywio newydd yn gallu buddsoddi mewn prosiectau o fis Ebrill 2018 ymlaen.

 Bydd Panel Buddsoddi Cenedlaethol mewn Gwaith Adfywio hefyd yn cael ei sefydlu a fydd yn gyfrifol am sicrhau bod y buddsoddiad sydd ar gael yn cael ei ddefnyddio mor effeithiol â phosib ledled Cymru.
