Mae prosiectau fel Mesur y Mynydd yn anhepgor er mwyn inni gael clywed llais y rheini sy’n ganolog i’r Ddeddf. Rhaid i’r momentwm cadarnhaol a grëwyd gan y prosiect hwn barhau ac felly rwyf wedi cytuno i gyllido Mesur y Mynydd am 18 mis arall. Bydd cam nesaf y prosiect yn rhoi gwell dealltwriaeth inni ar gyfer helpu i arwain y sector tuag at wneud gwelliannau. Yn hanfodol, bydd y prosiect yn datblygu’r gwaith rhagorol a gafodd ei wneud yn 2018/19 ymhellach a bydd yn ymchwilio’n ddyfnach i’r bylchau a gafodd eu nodi yng ngham un. Edrychaf ymlaen at dderbyn argymhellion cam dau pan fyddant yn cael eu cyhoeddi ym mis Medi 2020.
Projects such as Measuring the Mountain are essential for us to hear voices of those who are at the heart of the Act. The positive momentum that has been created from this project must continue and it is for this reason that I have agreed to fund Measuring the Mountain for a further 18 months. The next phase of the project will allow us further insight and understanding to help guide the sector towards improvement. Crucially the project will expand on the excellent work that was undertaken in 2018/19 and will further explore the gaps that were identified in phase one. I look forward to receiving the phase two recommendations when they are published in September 2020.
