English: Well, Llywydd, in the job that I do, and indeed in the jobs, I'm sure, that Members around the Chamber do, we have some difficult conversations that we have with sometimes members of the public, sometimes with other organisations. I've seldom had a more challenging conversation than I had recently with the vice-chancellor of the University of Namibia - a good friend of Wales, a good friend of Cardiff University - and the reason that the call was difficult was because the sheer desperation in the vice-chancellor's plea to Wales to help him and his fellow citizens in Namibia went straight to your heart. He had lost 10 members of his staff that week, and more died before the week was over. Seven per cent of the population of Namibia are likely to be vaccinated, and the impact on their public services is simply that there is nowhere for anybody to go to get the help that they need. And that is true not just of Namibia but it's true of Uganda and other partners of the Wales-Africa programme as well. The vice-chancellor wanted me to lobby the UK Government to accelerate the supply of vaccine to Namibia, and I did that immediately. I wrote straight away to the Foreign Secretary and relayed the conversation I'd had and the case - the urgent case - that there is there. But it's more than just supply of vaccine; it's the ability on the ground to deliver the vaccine when it's received, and we are very fortunate in the Phoenix Project - headed up, many of us will know, by a remarkable woman, Professor Judith Hall of Cardiff University - where we have partners on the ground both in Uganda and in Namibia as well. We have since then been working to find what more we can do to provide equipment and other forms of support to those partners that we have whose needs are so desperate. And my colleague Jane Hutt, I know, hopes to be able to make an announcement before the end of this week, before the end of the term, on the additional help that we are going to be able to provide.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, yn y swydd yr wyf i'n ei gwneud, ac yn wir yn y swyddi, rwy'n siŵr, y mae Aelodau o amgylch y Siambr yn eu gwneud, rydym ni'n cael rhai sgyrsiau anodd weithiau gydag aelodau o'r cyhoedd, weithiau gyda sefydliadau eraill. Anaml yr wyf i wedi cael sgwrs anoddach na'r un a ges i yn ddiweddar gydag is-ganghellor Prifysgol Namibia - cyfaill da i Gymru, cyfaill da i Brifysgol Caerdydd - a'r rheswm yr oedd yr alwad honno yn anodd oedd oherwydd bod yr anobaith llwyr yn apêl yr is-ganghellor i Gymru ei helpu ef a'i gyd-ddinasyddion yn Namibia yn mynd yn syth at eich calon. Roedd wedi colli 10 aelod o'i staff yr wythnos honno, a bu farw mwy cyn i'r wythnos ddod i ben. Mae saith y cant o boblogaeth Namibia yn debygol o gael eu brechu, a'r effaith syml ar eu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yw nad oes unman i unrhyw un fynd i gael y cymorth sydd ei angen arnyn nhw. Ac mae hynny'n wir nid yn unig am Namibia ond mae'n wir am Uganda a phartneriaid eraill rhaglen Cymru-Affrica hefyd. Roedd yr is-ganghellor eisiau i mi lobïo Llywodraeth y DU i gyflymu cyflenwad y brechlyn i Namibia, ac fe wnes i hynny ar unwaith. Ysgrifennais ar unwaith at yr Ysgrifennydd Tramor a chyfleu'r sgwrs yr oeddwn i wedi ei chael a'r achos - yr achos brys - sy'n bodoli yno. Ond mae'n fwy na chyflenwi brechlyn yn unig; mae'n fater o allu ar lawr gwlad i ddarparu'r brechlyn pan fydd wedi dod i law, ac rydym ni'n ffodus iawn ym Mhrosiect Phoenix - a arweinir, fel y bydd llawer ohonom ni'n ymwybodol, gan fenyw ryfeddol, yr Athro Judith Hall o Brifysgol Caerdydd - lle mae gennym ni bartneriaid ar lawr gwlad yn Uganda ac yn Namibia hefyd. Ers hynny, rydym ni wedi bod yn gweithio i ddod o hyd i beth arall y gallwn ni ei wneud i ddarparu offer a mathau eraill o gymorth i'r partneriaid hynny sydd gennym ni y mae eu hanghenion mor daer. A gwn fod fy nghyd-Weinidog Jane Hutt yn gobeithio gallu gwneud cyhoeddiad cyn diwedd yr wythnos hon, cyn diwedd y tymor, ar y cymorth ychwanegol y byddwn ni'n gallu ei ddarparu.
