English: Diolch, Llywydd. Strength-based development is about helping people and communities identify the strengths they already have in order to tackle the root problems preventing them from reaching their potential. Applying this approach, the co-pro revolutionaries in the Co-production Network for Wales are adopting international best practice, working for an approach that enables people and professionals to share power and work together in equal relationships to make public services more effective and relevant. This is about unlocking community strengths to build stronger communities for the future. Regrettably, however, the Labour Welsh Government has proved averse to implementing the Localism Act 2011's community rights agenda, which would help community engagement and deliver services more efficiently and effectively. Overall, there's been a top-down approach towards community engagement in Wales, with resources and guidance to local authorities being generated from central Government. Moreover, the Welsh Government has published a centralised document, 'Principles for working with communities', which includes the involvement of communities, service users and organisations in defining community problems and the design and delivery of new approaches, but no grass-roots powers for communities. Although there are some powers of local intervention in Wales, local authorities are not currently obliged to undertake community asset transfers nor are there registers to show which local authority assets are under threat, unlike across the border. Furthermore, the results of the Welsh Government's consultation on protecting community assets in 2015 showed 78 per cent of respondents welcoming a power to initiate a transfer of assets from public sector bodies, essentially supporting the community right to bid missing in Wales. The Welsh Government has given funding for a pilot scheme to the Gwent Association of Voluntary Organisations for a community asset transfer officer - good - helping groups in Gwent bid for community assets - fantastic - but it isn't yet clear if it has been a success. The Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government said in November 2016 that the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children had been participating in talks with the Campaign for Real Ale regarding the future of Welsh pubs. That sounds very interesting; I think I'd have enjoyed those talks too. However, we're yet to see the results of these talks. Last year, Flintshire Local Voluntary Council told me that Welsh Government cuts to local voluntary councils would devastate their ability to support more user-led, preventative and cost-effective services. In other words, by spending money smarter, we could safeguard those services by working differently. And the Wales Council for Voluntary Action said that Welsh Government and the sector need to refresh current engagement mechanisms, develop, promote and monitor a programme for action based on co-production and common ground, with local authorities, health boards and the third sector working much more imaginatively to develop better services that are closer to people, more responsive to needs and add value by drawing on community resources. Oxfam Cymru has specifically called on the Welsh Government to embed the sustainable livelihoods approach in all policy and service delivery in Wales, helping people identify their own strengths in order to tackle root problems preventing them and their communities from reaching their potential. Five years ago, the current Minister rejected the WCVA's 'Communities First - A Way Forward' report, which found that community involvement in co-designing and co-delivering local services should be central to any successor lead tackling poverty programme. Five years later, and after spending £0.5 billion on it, the same Minister has now said he is phasing out Communities First, having failed to reduce the headline rates of poverty or increase relative prosperity in Wales. As the Bevan Foundation states, if people feel that policies are imposed on them, the policies don't work, and a new programme should be produced with communities, not directed top down. Let us look to local area co-ordination in Derby - supporting residents and communities, driving collaboration between local people, families, communities and organisations to build something bigger and more sustainable, building on the very successful model implemented in Australia. An independent evaluation by the University of Derby, working with just 50 people, found savings of £800,000 for the health and social care economy, and that introducing local area co-ordinators had built relationships, established trust, worked to people's strengths and aspirations and built connections with family members and other citizens to create solutions for those communities. This convinced that local authority and NHS there to invest and expand to all 17 council wards. If only the Welsh Government would listen. They could use funding better, improve lives, and therefore help public services save money. So, my question to all Assembly Members is: will you join the revolution, step up and co-produce the Wales we want?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Mae datblygu sy'n seiliedig ar gryfder yn ymwneud â helpu pobl a chymunedau i nodi'r cryfderau sydd ganddynt eisoes er mwyn mynd i'r afael â'r problemau sylfaenol sy'n eu rhwystro rhag cyrraedd eu potensial. Gan gymhwyso'r dull hwn, mae'r chwyldroadwyr cydgynhyrchu yn Rhwydwaith Cydgynhyrchu Cymru yn mabwysiadu arferion gorau rhyngwladol, gan weithio tuag at ymagwedd sy'n galluogi pobl a gweithwyr proffesiynol i rannu grym a gweithio gyda'i gilydd mewn perthynas gyfartal i sicrhau bod gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn fwy effeithiol a pherthnasol. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â datgloi cryfderau cymunedol i adeiladu cymunedau cryfach ar gyfer y dyfodol. Yn anffodus, fodd bynnag, mae Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru wedi bod yn amharod i weithredu agenda hawliau cymunedol Deddf Lleoliaeth 2011, a fyddai'n helpu i ymgysylltu â'r gymuned a darparu gwasanaethau'n fwy effeithlon ac effeithiol. Ar y cyfan, cafwyd ymagwedd o'r brig i lawr tuag at ymgysylltu â'r gymuned yng Nghymru, gydag adnoddau a chanllawiau i awdurdodau lleol yn cael eu cynhyrchu gan y Llywodraeth ganolog. Ar ben hynny, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyhoeddi dogfen ganolog, 'Egwyddorion ar gyfer gweithio gyda chymunedau', sy'n cynnwys cyfranogiad cymunedau, defnyddwyr gwasanaeth a sefydliadau yn y broses o ddiffinio problemau cymunedol a dylunio a chyflwyno dulliau newydd, ond heb unrhyw bwerau ar lawr gwlad i gymunedau. Er bod rhai pwerau ymyrryd lleol yng Nghymru, nid oes rhaid i awdurdodau lleol gyflawni trosglwyddiadau asedau cymunedol ar hyn o bryd ac nid oes cofrestri i ddangos pa asedau awdurdodau lleol sydd o dan fygythiad, yn wahanol i'r hyn a geir dros y ffin. Ar ben hynny, dangosai canlyniadau ymgynghoriad Llywodraeth Cymru ar ddiogelu asedau cymunedol yn 2015 fod 78 y cant o'r ymatebwyr yn croesawu pŵer i gychwyn trosglwyddo asedau gan gyrff sector cyhoeddus, gan gefnogi i bob pwrpas hawl y gymuned i wneud cais, sydd ar goll yng Nghymru. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi arian i gynllun peilot Cymdeithas Mudiadau Gwirfoddol Gwent ar gyfer swyddog trosglwyddo asedau cymunedol - da - i helpu grwpiau yng Ngwent i wneud ceisiadau am asedau cymunedol - gwych - ond nid yw'n glir eto a yw wedi bod yn llwyddiant. Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol ym mis Tachwedd 2016 fod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gymunedau a Phlant wedi bod yn cymryd rhan mewn trafodaethau â'r Ymgyrch dros Gwrw Go Iawn ynglŷn â dyfodol tafarndai Cymru. Mae hynny'n swnio'n ddiddorol iawn; rwy'n meddwl y byddwn innau wedi mwynhau'r trafodaethau hynny hefyd. Fodd bynnag, rydym eto i weld canlyniadau'r trafodaethau. Y llynedd, dywedodd Cyngor Gwirfoddol Lleol Sir y Fflint wrthyf y byddai toriadau Llywodraeth Cymru i gynghorau gwirfoddol lleol yn dinistrio eu gallu i gefnogi mwy o wasanaethau ataliol a chosteffeithiol dan arweiniad defnyddwyr. Mewn geiriau eraill, drwy wario arian yn fwy craff, gallem ddiogelu'r gwasanaethau hyn drwy weithio'n wahanol. A dywedodd Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru fod angen i Lywodraeth Cymru a'r sector adfywio mecanweithiau ymgysylltu presennol, a datblygu, hyrwyddo a monitro rhaglen ar gyfer gweithredu yn seiliedig ar gydgynhyrchu a thir cyffredin, gydag awdurdodau lleol, byrddau iechyd a'r trydydd sector yn gweithio'n llawer mwy dychmygus er mwyn datblygu gwasanaethau gwell yn nes at bobl, yn fwy ymatebol i anghenion ac yn ychwanegu gwerth drwy bwyso ar adnoddau cymunedol. Mae Oxfam Cymru wedi galw'n benodol ar Lywodraeth Cymru i ymgorffori'r dull bywoliaeth gynaliadwy ym mhob polisi a gwasanaeth a ddarparir yng Nghymru, gan helpu pobl i adnabod eu cryfderau eu hunain, er mwyn mynd i'r afael â phroblemau sylfaenol sy'n eu hatal hwy a'u cymunedau rhag cyrraedd eu potensial. Bum mlynedd yn ôl, gwrthododd y Gweinidog presennol adroddiad Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru, 'Cymunedau yn Gyntaf: Ffordd Ymlaen', a ganfu y dylai cyfranogiad y gymuned yn y broses o gydgynllunio a chyd-ddarparu gwasanaethau lleol fod yn ganolog i unrhyw raglen arweiniol olynol ar drechu tlodi. Bum mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, ar ôl gwario £0.5 biliwn ar raglen Cymunedau yn Gyntaf, mae'r un Gweinidog bellach wedi dweud ei fod yn diddymu'r rhaglen yn raddol, ar ôl methu gostwng prif gyfraddau tlodi neu gynyddu ffyniant cymharol yng Nghymru. Fel y dywed Sefydliad Bevan, os yw pobl yn teimlo bod polisïau'n cael eu gosod arnynt, ni fydd y polisïau hynny'n gweithio, a dylid cynhyrchu rhaglen newydd gyda chymunedau, nid ei chyfarwyddo o'r brig i lawr. Gadewch inni edrych ar gydgynhyrchu ardal leol yn Derby - sy'n cefnogi trigolion a chymunedau, gan ysgogi cydweithredu rhwng pobl, teuluoedd, cymunedau a sefydliadau lleol i adeiladu rhywbeth mwy o faint a mwy cynaliadwy, ac adeiladu ar yr un model llwyddiannus ag sydd ar waith yn Awstralia. Mae gwerthusiad annibynnol gan Brifysgol Derby, a oedd yn gweithio gyda 50 o bobl yn unig, wedi canfod arbedion o £800,000 i'r economi iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, ac wedi gweld bod cyflwyno cydlynwyr ardal lleol wedi meithrin perthynas rhwng pobl, wedi sefydlu ymddiriedaeth, wedi gweithio gyda chryfderau a dyheadau pobl ac adeiladu cysylltiadau gydag aelodau teuluol a dinasyddion eraill i greu atebion ar gyfer y cymunedau hynny. Argyhoeddodd hyn yr awdurdod lleol a'r GIG yno i fuddsoddi ac ehangu i bob un o'r 17 ward cyngor. Pe bai Llywodraeth Cymru ond yn gwrando. Gallent ddefnyddio cyllid yn well, gwella bywydau, a helpu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, felly, i arbed arian. Felly, fy nghwestiwn i holl Aelodau'r Cynulliad yw: a wnewch chi ymuno â'r chwyldro, camu i fyny a chydgynhyrchu'r Gymru rydym ei heisiau?
