I am pleased to inform Members that as part of the Co\-operation Agreement with Plaid Cymru, I have agreed proposals for an Arfor 2 programme.


A budget of £11m is being made available over the 3\-year period 2022/23 – 2024/24 to support the programme which will, alongside our wider support package, deliver a range of economic interventions aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, business growth, community resilience and the Welsh language.


We have been working with Cefin Campbell MS, the Designated Member and local authority partners in the spirit of co\-production to develop proposals which build on the learning from the original 2\-year Arfor programme (2019/20 – 20/21\) which sought to pilot a number of activities.  The findings of the independent evaluation of that programme have also been key to help shape this new programme.


The Arfor 2 programme, which is to be delivered by the local authorities, will be operational in Gwynedd, Anglesey, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. It will support a number of strategic interventions, including a focus on opportunities for young people and families to enable them to stay or return to their home communities – and to fulfil their aspirations locally.


This programme will make an important contribution to the Welsh Government’s wider Welsh language strategy \- *Cymraeg 2050* which aims to reach a million Welsh speakers by 2050 and aims to complement existing or planned activity which is of relevance for example Business Wales, Big Ideas, SMART innovation, Welsh Language Communities Housing Plan and other programmes.


The Arfor 2 programme will seek:


* To create opportunities for young people and families (under 35 years old) to stay in or return to their home communities – supporting them to succeed locally by engaging in enterprise or developing a career.


* To create enterprising communities within Welsh\-speaking areas – by supporting commercial and community enterprises that aim to preserve and increase local wealth by taking advantage of the identity and unique qualities of their areas.
* To maximise the benefit of activity through collaboration– to ensure that good practice and lessons learnt are shared and that there is on\-going monitoring to ensure continuous improvement.
* Strengthen the identity of communities with a high density of Welsh speakers – by supporting the use and visibility of the Welsh language, encouraging a sense of place.


The Arfor 2 programme will also look to promote the learning and sharing of good practice and to broaden our understanding of the links between economy and language, and where relevant housing, and identify those interventions which can make a difference.   


Work will now continue on the detail of the proposed interventions, and I will update Members as the programme progresses.

Rwy'n falch o roi gwybod i'r Aelodau fy mod, fel rhan o'r Cytundeb Cydweithredu â Phlaid Cymru, wedi cytuno ar gynigion ar gyfer rhaglen Arfor 2\.


Mae cyllideb o £11 miliwn ar gael dros y cyfnod o 3 blynedd 2022/23 – 2024/24 i gefnogi'r rhaglen a fydd, ar y cyd â’n pecyn cymorth ehangach, yn cyflawni amrywiaeth o ymyriadau economaidd i hyrwyddo entrepreneuriaeth, twf busnes, gwydnwch cymunedol a'r iaith Gymraeg.


Rydym wedi cydweithio â Cefin Campbell AS, yr Aelod Dynodedig a phartneriaid yr awdurdod lleol mewn ysbryd cydweithredol i ddatblygu cynigion sy'n adeiladu ar y dysgu o'r rhaglen Arfor wreiddiol ddwy flynedd (2019/20 – 20/21\) a fu’n treialu nifer o weithgareddau.  Mae canfyddiadau gwerthusiad annibynnol y rhaglen honno hefyd wedi bod yn allweddol i helpu i lunio'r rhaglen newydd hon.


Bydd rhaglen Arfor 2, a fydd yn cael ei darparu gan yr awdurdodau lleol, yn weithredol yng Ngwynedd, Ynys Môn, Ceredigion a Sir Gaerfyrddin. Bydd yn cefnogi nifer o ymyriadau strategol, gan gynnwys canolbwyntio ar gyfleoedd i bobl ifanc a theuluoedd i'w galluogi i aros neu ddychwelyd i'w cymunedau genedigol ac i gyflawni eu huchelgeisiau yn lleol.   


Bydd y rhaglen hon yn gwneud cyfraniad pwysig tuag at strategaeth ehangach Llywodraeth Cymru \- Cymraeg 2050 sy'n ceisio cyflawni miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050 a'i nod yw ategu gweithgarwch berthnasol sy'n bodoli eisoes neu sydd wedi'i gynllunio, er enghraifft Busnes Cymru, Syniadau Mawr, Arloesedd SMART, Cynllun Tai Cymunedau Cymraeg a rhaglenni eraill.


Nod rhaglen Arfor 2 fydd:


• Creu cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc a theuluoedd (o dan 35 oed) i aros neu ddychwelyd i'w cymunedau genedigol – eu cefnogi i lwyddo'n lleol drwy gymryd rhan mewn menter neu ddatblygu gyrfa


• Creu cymunedau mentrus o fewn ardaloedd Cymraeg eu hiaith – drwy gefnogi mentrau masnachol a chymunedol sy'n ceisio cadw a chynyddu cyfoeth lleol trwy fanteisio ar hunaniaeth a rhinweddau unigryw eu hardaloedd.


• Sicrhau'r budd mwyaf posibl o weithgarwch drwy gydweithio – er mwyn sicrhau bod arferion da a gwersi a ddysgwyd yn cael eu rhannu a bod monitro parhaus i sicrhau gwelliant parhaus.


• Cryfhau hunaniaeth cymunedau sydd â dwysedd uchel o siaradwyr Cymraeg – drwy gefnogi defnydd ac amlygrwydd y Gymraeg, annog ymdeimlad o le.


Bydd rhaglen Arfor 2 hefyd yn ceisio hyrwyddo dysgu a rhannu arferion da ac ehangu ein dealltwriaeth o'r cysylltiadau rhwng yr economi ac iaith a lle y bo’n berthnasol tai a nodi'r ymyriadau hynny sy'n gallu gwneud gwahaniaeth.  


Bydd gwaith nawr yn parhau ar fanylion yr ymyriadau arfaethedig, a byddaf yn rhoi'r newyddion diweddaraf i'r Aelodau wrth i'r rhaglen fynd rhagddi.
