Mae gwerth dros £7m o fasgiau, gynau a hylif diheintio dwylo, nad oes mo’u hangen yng Nghymru, yn cael eu rhoi ynghyd â grant gwerth £500,000 ar gyfer cyfarpar ocsigen a hyfforddiant nyrsys.


Mae Namibia yng nghanol trydedd don o’r pandemig ar hyn o bryd ac mae’r drydedd don hon wedi amlygu diffygion difrifol y seilwaith iechyd yno.


A hwythau â phoblogaethau tebyg yn fras, mae perthynas dda rhwng y ddwy wlad wedi’i hen sefydlu. Mae gan Gymru gysylltiadau cryf â Namibia, gan gefnogi gwaith i drechu tlodi a chynorthwyo’r gwasanaethau iechyd yn ystod y pandemig.


Mae’r pecyn yn cynnwys dros 1\.1m o fasgiau wyneb, 500,000 o ynau, 100,000 o ffedogau amddiffynnol a gwerth dros £1m o hylif diheintio dwylo.


Bydd Cymru hefyd yn rhoi £500,000 ar gyfer cyfarpar ocsigen hanfodol a hyfforddiant nyrsys drwy raglen Cymru ac Affrica Llywodraeth Cymru.


Mae gan Namibia broblem ddifrifol o ran cyflenwad ocsigen a diffyg pobl sydd â’r sgiliau i ddarparu ocsigen i achub bywydau’r rhai sy’n ddifrifol wael.


Bydd y cyfarpar yn cael ei roi drwy Brosiect Phoenix Prifysgol Caerdydd ac mae’n dilyn grant yn gynharach eleni gwerth £125,000 a roddwyd i godi ymwybyddiaeth o’r angen am frechu yn erbyn y coronafeirws yn Namibia.


Cyfarfu’r Athro Kenneth Matengu o Brifysgol Namibia â’r Prif Weinidog Mark Drakeford ym mis Mehefin i drafod y grant.


Yn y cyfarfod, rhoddodd yr Athro Matengu ddisgrifiad dirdynnol o’r sefyllfa ddychrynllyd yn Namibia, gyda staff o’r Brifysgol yn marw’n ddyddiol a’r ysbytai’n methu ag ymdopi.


Ar ôl y cyfarfod, gofynnodd y Prif Weinidog i GIG Cymru a oedd unrhyw gyfarpar diogelu personol a allai gael ei anfon i Namibia.


Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, Mark Drakeford:



> Rwyf wedi clywed yn uniongyrchol o Namibia am y sefyllfa eithriadol o anodd yno yn y frwydr yn erbyn COVID\-19\.
> 
> 
> Mae dyletswydd arnon ni i helpu’r rhai mewn angen ac rwy’n falch bod Cymru yn camu ymlaen i frwydro yn erbyn bygythiad byd\-eang y coronafeirws.
> 
> 
> Bydd Cymru yn sefyll ochr yn ochr â Namibia a byddwn ni’n gwneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i’w cefnogi drwy’r cyfnod anodd hwn.


Yn ystod y pandemig, mae GIG Cymru wedi gweithio’n galed i ddatblygu cadwyni cyflenwi cryf a chyflenwadau wrth gefn o gyfarpar diogelu personol. Mewn rhai achosion, mae gofynion o ran maint lleiaf archebion wedi golygu bod cyflenwadau wedi mynd y tu hwnt i’r hyn sydd bellach ei angen i ddiogelu Cymru, gan gynnig cyfle i gefnogi ein partneriaid mewn gwledydd yn Affrica.


Dywedodd yr Athro Judith Hall o Brifysgol Caerdydd ac Arweinydd Prosiect Phoenix: 



> Mae Cymru ac Affrica, rhaglen datblygu rhyngwladol Llywodraeth Cymru dan arweiniad y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol Jane Hutt, yn brosiect arbennig ac yn esiampl i’r byd o’r math hwn o brosiect. Mae Prosiect Phoenix yn falch iawn o fod yn danfon y cyfarpar diogelu personol ac yn rheoli’r grant ocsigen ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae gan Namibia broblem ddifrifol o ran cyflenwad ocsigen a diffyg pobl sydd â’r sgiliau i ddarparu ocsigen i achub bywydau’r rhai sydd â haint COVID\-19 difrifol. Bydd y cyfraniadau hyn yn gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr a chynaliadwy i bobl Namibia ac yn y tymor byr bydd yn achub miloedd o fywydau.


Mae Prosiect Phoenix yn gweithio gydag asiantaethau yn Namibia ar brosiectau hybu iechyd, lleddfu tlodi a diogelu’r amgylchedd.

Over £7m worth of masks, gowns and hand sanitizer, which is not needed in Wales are being donated and a further £500,000 grant is being given for oxygen equipment and nurse training.


Namibia is currently experiencing its third wave of the pandemic and this third surge has exposed the critically insufficient health infrastructure in Namibia.


With roughly similar populations, the two countries have enjoyed a longstanding relationship. Wales has a strong link with Namibia, supporting work to tackle poverty and assisting the health services during the pandemic.


The kit includes over 1\.1m face masks, 500,000 gowns, 100,000 protective aprons and over £1m worth of hand sanitizer.


Wales will also donate £500,000 for essential oxygen equipment and nurse training through the Welsh Government’s Wales and Africa programme.


Namibia has a severe problem with oxygen supply and a lack of personnel with the skills to deliver oxygen to save the lives of the seriously ill.


The equipment will be donated through Cardiff University’s Phoenix Project and follows a grant earlier this year of £125,000 given to promote awareness of the need for coronavirus vaccinations in Namibia.


Professor Kenneth Matengu from the University of Namibia met with the First Minister Mark Drakeford in June to report on the grant.


In the meeting Professor Matengu gave a moving account of the dreadful situation in Namibia, with University staff dying daily and the hospitals overwhelmed.


Following the meeting the First Minister asked the Welsh NHS if they had PPE kit that could be sent to Namibia.


The First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford said,



> I have heard directly from Namibia on the extremely difficult situation that they face in the battle against COVID\-19\.
> 
> 
> We have a duty to help those in need and I’m proud that Wales is stepping forward to fight the global threat of coronavirus.
> 
> 
> Wales will stand alongside Namibia and we will do everything we can to help them through this difficult time.


During the pandemic NHS Wales has worked hard to build resilient supply chains and a robust PPE stockpile. Minimum order volumes meant that in some cases stocks were built up beyond that now needed to protect Wales, providing an opportunity to support partner countries in Africa.


Professor Judith Hall of Cardiff University and Phoenix Project Lead said: 



> Wales and Africa, Welsh Government’s international development programme led by Minister for Social Justice Jane Hutt, is a remarkable project and an exemplar of its kind for the world. The Phoenix Project is delighted to be delivering the PPE donation and managing the Oxygen grant on behalf of the Welsh Government. Namibia has a serious problem with oxygen supply and a lack of personnel with the skills to deliver oxygen to save the lives of those with severe COVID\-19\. These donations will make a huge and sustainable difference to the people of Namibia and in the short term, thousands of lives will be saved.”


The Phoenix Project works with agencies in Namibia on health promotion, poverty reduction and environmental projects.
