English: I'm grateful to Sioned for raising an important issue, especially in the context of having those resilient communities as we move into a very difficult period. And we are absolutely committed, as a Welsh Government, to strengthening the foundational economy here in Wales. We have engaged with the Centre for Local Economic Strategies, CLES, to work across five clusters of public services boards, to examine the community wealth-building potential offered through progressive procurement. And, as a result, PSB members have identified procurement priorities, such as increasing engagement with local and third sector suppliers - for example, on housing retrofit, procurement of local food, and also on decarbonisation of supply chains. And the engagement of CLES has also helped to raise awareness of the other pillars of community wealth building, such as how we use our assets and buildings, and also the importance of local workforce strategies, and how they can all work together to support those local well-being priorities. So, absolutely, this is a key focus of my colleague the Minister for Economy. I think we've got good work to build on, in terms of the work that we've done with CLES, the work the public services boards have been doing, and also there are some great examples in terms of what's happening in individual local authorities. The Vale of Glamorgan foundational economy challenge fund, for example, has succeeded in engaging with more than 1,000 new businesses, through events with Business Wales, Sell2Wales, and others, to help understand some of those tendering problems that were preventing small businesses from tendering for their work. So, I think that's been a useful piece of work, and we can certainly explore how we would share the learning from that to other local authorities across Wales.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i Sioned am godi mater pwysig, yn enwedig yng nghyd-destun cael y cymunedau cryf hynny wrth inni symud i gyfnod anodd iawn. Ac rydym yn gwbl ymrwymedig, fel Llywodraeth Cymru, i gryfhau'r economi sylfaenol yma yng Nghymru. Rydym wedi ymgysylltu â'r Ganolfan Strategaethau Economaidd Lleol i weithio ar draws pum clwstwr o fyrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, i archwilio'r potensial ar gyfer adeiladu cyfoeth cymunedol a gynigir drwy gaffael blaengar. Ac o ganlyniad, mae aelodau'r byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus wedi nodi blaenoriaethau o ran caffael, megis cynyddu ymgysylltiad â chyflenwyr lleol a chyflenwyr y trydydd sector - er enghraifft, ar ôl-osod tai, caffael bwyd lleol, a hefyd ar ddatgarboneiddio cadwyni cyflenwi. Ac mae ymgysylltiad y Ganolfan Strategaethau Economaidd Lleol hefyd wedi helpu i godi ymwybyddiaeth o gonglfeini eraill adeiladu cyfoeth cymunedol, megis sut yr awn ati i ddefnyddio ein hasedau a'n hadeiladau, yn ogystal â phwysigrwydd strategaethau gweithlu lleol, a sut y gallant oll gydweithio i gefnogi'r blaenoriaethau llesiant lleol hynny. Felly, yn sicr, mae hyn yn ffocws allweddol i fy nghyd-Aelod, Gweinidog yr Economi. Credaf fod gennym waith da i adeiladu arno, o ran y gwaith yr ydym eisoes wedi'i wneud gyda'r ganolfan, y gwaith y mae'r byrddau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus wedi bod yn ei wneud, a cheir enghreifftiau gwych hefyd o ran yr hyn sy'n digwydd mewn awdurdodau lleol unigol. Mae cronfa her yr economi sylfaenol ym Mro Morgannwg, er enghraifft, wedi llwyddo i ymgysylltu â mwy na 1,000 o fusnesau newydd, drwy ddigwyddiadau gyda Busnes Cymru, GwerthwchiGymru, ac eraill, i helpu i ddeall rhai o'r problemau tendro a oedd yn atal busnesau bach rhag tendro am eu gwaith. Felly, credaf fod hwnnw wedi bod yn waith defnyddiol, ac yn sicr, gallwn archwilio sut y byddem yn rhannu'r hyn a ddysgwyd o hynny ag awdurdodau lleol eraill ledled Cymru.
