English: Well, I thank the Member for his outline opening support for Wales and Africa and for the partnerships, which, of course, extend in every constituency, of which many Members here are very proud and which have received our all-important small grants funding. Of course, you raise important points about conversion, exchange and currency issues, issues that, of course, affect all work to support international development, in terms of exchange rates and access to currencies, and that's an important point, in terms of ensuring that our partner organisations can draw down the funding that, of course, we are sharing and allocating to meet their needs. I'm very glad you were able to attend the Wales and Africa Health Links Network conference, which I also attended, as you know, and delivered a keynote speech last week. And the theme of this conference for colleagues was global citizenship. Of course, we had representation from all those health boards, the Welsh organisations and African partners, universities, and NHS and health workers from across the UK, who recognise the work that we are doing and the importance of it. And I think it is, actually, useful just to reflect on the strength of international learning opportunities. That scheme has been provided to nearly 200 people from Wales, with eight-week placements in either Lesotho, Uganda or Namibia, and they've assisted partner organisations with their efforts to deliver aspects of the UN sustainable development goals. If any of you have met people within our health boards who've actually taken - and, indeed, public services who've taken - part in this international learning opportunities scheme, you will know how transformational it is on a mutual-learning basis in terms of those opportunities. It is very important that we look at the delivery and the support that is given as a result of our small grants programme and the work of Hub Cymru Africa, and I think, just in terms of looking at Hub Cymru Africa, supporting the Wales-Africa community, I mentioned the diaspora, and we work very closely together with the Wales and Africa Health Links Network, the Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel and Fair Trade Wales, and, just to give you one example, last month, Hub Cymru Africa received £40,000 from the Wales and Africa programme to deliver the women's empowerment project. And it is about empowerment that is so - . The Member draws important attention to the fact this is about empowering those communities and empowering, particularly, women, and that allows Welsh groups to contribute towards gender equality outcomes in Uganda. I am disappointed in the fact that you don't seem to recognise the impact of the Wales and Africa programme for so many years. I just want to just remind the Member that the vision of the Welsh Government's Wales and Africa programme is to support Wales to be a globally responsible nation through building and growing sustainable partnerships, and it is actually delivering those sustainable partnerships in sub-Saharan Africa, or in the role of supporting our UN sustainable development goals. And, of course, there is a huge demand within Wales for an identifiably Welsh response to contributing to international development. And, of course, that response is because we see that we're supporting dozens of small civil society groups who work with African partners on education and on community needs, promoting health and well-being, culture, sport and business, like Jenipher's Coffi, and we are demonstrating the impact of our most successful sustainable development and climate change activities across Wales. And I would hope that, as I said at the end of my statement, we would see that now is the time for us to come together, and particularly with COP26 and the challenge of climate change. You will have seen what's happening to Africa as a result of climate change, and I made the point in my statement: now is the time for us to do everything we can to share our resources and look to aid. So, I would ask you to raise with your UK Government the concerns that we have that both the UK Government abolished the Department for International Development and absorbed its budget into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office last year - and we knew that the world's poorest would suffer - and then reneged on the Conservative manifesto commitment, cutting £4 billion from the overseas budget, having a devastating effect on so many lives in the poorest of countries. And to give you one example, Bees for Development in Monmouth - their three-year £250,000 community partnership grant funding for work in Ethiopia has been cut as a result of the cuts from the overseas aid development budget. And, of course, that closes an important project, cutting 41 per cent from the budget. I hope you will listen to Jenipher, as she talks about her work today in Glasgow, at COP26. She's going to be talking about what it means for her to have the support of the Welsh Government and Wales and Africa in support of her work as a coffee grower in Uganda.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n diolch i'r Aelod am ei gefnogaeth agoriadol amlinellol i'r rhaglen Cymru ac Affrica ac i'r partneriaethau, sydd, wrth gwrs, yn ymestyn i bob etholaeth, ac mae llawer o'r Aelodau yma yn falch iawn ohonyn nhw ac wedi derbyn ein cyllid grantiau bach hollbwysig. Wrth gwrs, rydych chi'n codi pwyntiau pwysig am faterion trosi, cyfnewid ac arian cyfred, materion sydd, wrth gwrs, yn effeithio ar yr holl waith o gefnogi datblygiad rhyngwladol, o ran cyfraddau cyfnewid a mynediad at arian cyfred, ac mae hynny'n bwynt pwysig, o ran sicrhau y gall ein sefydliadau partner hawlio'r cyllid yr ydym ni, wrth gwrs, yn ei rannu ac yn ei ddyrannu i ddiwallu eu hanghenion. Rwy'n falch iawn eich bod wedi gallu mynd i gynhadledd Rhwydwaith Cysylltiadau Iechyd Cymru ac Affrica, yr oeddwn i'n bresennol ynddi hefyd, fel y gwyddoch chi, a lle cyflwynais araith yr wythnos diwethaf. A thema'r gynhadledd hon i gyd-Aelodau oedd dinasyddiaeth fyd-eang. Wrth gwrs, cawsom gynrychiolaeth gan yr holl fyrddau iechyd hynny, sefydliadau Cymru a phartneriaid Affrica, prifysgolion, a gweithwyr iechyd a'r GIG o bob rhan o'r DU, sy'n cydnabod y gwaith yr ydym yn ei wneud a'i bwysigrwydd. Ac rwy'n credu ei bod hi, mewn gwirionedd, yn ddefnyddiol i fyfyrio ar gryfder cyfleoedd dysgu rhyngwladol. Mae'r cynllun hwnnw wedi ei ddarparu i bron i 200 o bobl o Gymru, gyda lleoliadau wyth wythnos naill ai yn Lesotho, Uganda neu Namibia, ac maen nhw wedi cynorthwyo sefydliadau partner yn eu hymdrechion i gyflawni agweddau ar nodau datblygu cynaliadwy y Cenhedloedd Unedig. Os oes unrhyw un ohonoch chi wedi cwrdd â phobl yn ein byrddau iechyd sydd wedi cymryd rhan mewn gwirionedd - ac, yn wir, gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sydd wedi cymryd rhan - yn y cynllun cyfleoedd dysgu rhyngwladol hwn, byddwch chi'n gwybod pa mor drawsnewidiol ydyw ar sail cyd-ddysgu o ran y cyfleoedd hynny. Mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod ni'n edrych ar y ddarpariaeth a'r cymorth a roddir o ganlyniad i'n rhaglen grantiau bach a gwaith Hub Cymru Africa, ac rwy'n credu, dim ond o ran edrych ar Hub Cymru Africa, cefnogi cymuned Cymru-Affrica, soniais am y gymuned ar wasgar, ac rydym ni'n cydweithio'n agos iawn â Rhwydwaith Cysylltiadau Iechyd Cymru ac Affrica, Panel Cynghori Is-Sahara a Masnach Deg Cymru, ac, i roi un enghraifft i chi, fis diwethaf, cafodd Hub Cymru Africa £40,000 gan y rhaglen Cymru ac Affrica i gyflawni'r prosiect grymuso menywod. Ac mae hynny yn ymwneud â grymuso felly - . Mae'r Aelod yn tynnu sylw pwysig at y ffaith bod hyn yn ymwneud â grymuso'r cymunedau hynny a grymuso, yn arbennig, menywod, ac mae hynny'n caniatáu i grwpiau o Gymru gyfrannu at ganlyniadau cydraddoldeb rhwng y rhywiau yn Uganda. Rwyf i wedi siomi yn y ffaith nad yw'n ymddangos eich bod chi'n cydnabod effaith y rhaglen Cymru ac Affrica am gynifer o flynyddoedd. Hoffwn i atgoffa'r Aelod mai gweledigaeth rhaglen Cymru ac Affrica Llywodraeth Cymru yw cefnogi Cymru i fod yn genedl sy'n gyfrifol yn fyd-eang drwy ddatblygu a meithrin partneriaethau cynaliadwy, ac mae yn cyflawni'r partneriaethau cynaliadwy hynny yn Affrica Is-Sahara mewn gwirionedd, neu yn y swyddogaeth o gefnogi nodau datblygu cynaliadwy y Cenhedloedd Unedig. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae galw enfawr yng Nghymru am ymateb Cymreig nodedig i gyfrannu at ddatblygu rhyngwladol. Ac, wrth gwrs, y rheswm am yr ymateb hwnnw yw ein bod ni'n gweld ein bod ni'n cefnogi dwsinau o grwpiau cymdeithas sifil bach sy'n gweithio gyda phartneriaid yn Affrica ar addysg ac ar anghenion cymunedol, gan hybu iechyd a lles, diwylliant, chwaraeon a busnes, fel Jenipher's Coffi, ac rydym yn dangos effaith ein gweithgareddau datblygu cynaliadwy a newid yn yr hinsawdd mwyaf llwyddiannus ledled Cymru. A byddwn i'n gobeithio, fel y dywedais i ar ddiwedd fy natganiad, y byddem ni'n gweld mai dyma'r amser i ni ddod at ein gilydd, ac yn enwedig gyda COP26 a'r her newid yn yr hinsawdd. Byddwch chi wedi gweld yr hyn sy'n digwydd i Affrica o ganlyniad i newid yn yr hinsawdd, ac fe wnes i'r pwynt yn fy natganiad: nawr yw'r amser i ni wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i rannu ein hadnoddau ac edrych ar roi cymorth. Felly, gofynnaf i chi godi gyda'ch Llywodraeth yn y DU y pryderon sydd gennym ni fod Llywodraeth y DU wedi diddymu'r Adran Datblygu Rhyngwladol ac wedi amsugno ei chyllideb i'r Swyddfa Dramor a Chymanwlad y llynedd - ac roeddem ni'n gwybod y byddai rhai tlotaf y byd yn dioddef - ac yna troi yn ôl ar ymrwymiad maniffesto'r Ceidwadwyr, gan dorri £4 biliwn o'r gyllideb dramor, gan arwain at effaith ddinistriol ar gynifer o fywydau yn y gwledydd tlotaf. Ac i roi un enghraifft i chi, Bees for Development yn Nhrefynwy - mae eu cyllid grant partneriaeth gymunedol tair blynedd o £250,000 ar gyfer gwaith yn Ethiopia wedi ei dorri o ganlyniad i'r toriadau o'r gyllideb datblygu cymorth tramor. Ac, wrth gwrs, mae hynny'n cau prosiect pwysig, gan dorri 41 y cant o'r gyllideb. Rwy'n gobeithio y byddwch chi'n gwrando ar Jenipher, wrth iddi sôn am ei gwaith heddiw yn Glasgow, yn COP26. Mae hi'n mynd i fod yn sôn am yr hyn y mae'n ei olygu iddi gael cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru a'r rhaglen Cymru ac Affrica i gefnogi ei gwaith fel tyfwr coffi yn Uganda.
