Mae FfERhau yn rhan hanfodol o’n hymrwymiad i fodel o ddatblygu economaidd sy’n rhoi mwy o ffocws i’r rhanbarthau – i ddatblygu cryfderau hynod ein rhanbarthau, cefnogi twf economaidd cynhwysol a chynaliadwy a gwneud y gorau o gyfleoedd i drechu anghydraddoldebau rhanbarthol a lleol, a chyfrannu at Nodau Llesiant Cymru.  Mae FfERhau yn gyfryngau ar gyfer helpu i hyrwyddo a chynnal cynllunio rhanbarthol cydweithredol ymhlith partneriaid yn y sectorau cyhoeddus a phreifat a’r trydydd sector, gan weithio ar weledigaeth ar y cyd a set o amcanion datblygu economaidd cyffredin. Wrth ddatblygu FfERhau, rydym wedi bod yn ymwybodol iawn bod angen ymadfer ac ailgychwyn yn sgil pandemig y Coronafeirws, ond bod angen inni hefyd bennu uchelgais mwy tymor hir ar gyfer y rhanbarthau. Bydd gofyn i hwnnw fod yn gyson â Chenhadaeth Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer Adfywio a Chryfhau’r Economi.
The development of REFs is an essential part of our commitment to a more regionally focussed model of economic development - developing the distinctive strengths of our regions, supporting inclusive and sustainable economic growth and maximising opportunities to address regional and local inequalities, contributing to the Well-being Goals for Wales. REFs are intended as a vehicle to help promote collaborative regional planning and delivery amongst public, private and third sector partners, working to a shared vision and a set of common economic development objectives.  In taking forward the development of the REFs we have been acutely aware of the immediate reset and recovery required in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, but also the need to set out the longer term aspirations for the regions, aligned to the the Welsh Government’s Economic Recovery and Resilience Mission.
