Nodwedd allweddol o’r rhaglen newydd yw’r ymgais i sicrhau mecanwaith cadarn a thryloyw i gefnogi’r broses o wneud penderfyniadau am fuddsoddiadau.  I’r perwyl hwn, byddaf yn sefydlu’r Panel Cenedlaethol ar gyfer Buddsoddi mewn Adfywio. Bydd y Panel yn edrych ar adfywio yng Nghymru gyfan, a’i waith fydd sicrhau bod y buddsoddiad sydd ar gael yn cael ei ddefnyddio mor effeithiol â phosib ledled y wlad. Hefyd, bydd yn rhoi cyngor er mwyn ceisio sicrhau rhywfaint o gydlyniant ar draws y rhaglenni rhanbarthol a cheisio sicrhau y caiff cyllidebau eu defnyddio mewn ffordd sy’n manteisio i’r eithaf ar ffynonellau eraill o gyllid er mwyn sicrhau’r effaith adfywio fwyaf posibl. Bydd angen i bob prosiect a gynigir arddangos gwerth am arian a bydd hyn yn ganolog i’r ffordd y bydd y panel yn craffu arnynt.
A key feature in the design of the new programme is to ensure there is a robust and transparent mechanism in place to support decision-making around funding investments.  To this effect, I will be establishing a National Regeneration Investment Panel.  The Panel will have a Wales wide view of regeneration and will be charged with ensuring that the investment available is utilised as effectively as possible across the country and will also provide advice aimed at ensuring a degree of coherence across regional programmes and at ensuring that budgets are utilised in a manner which make best use of other possible funding sources to deliver maximum regeneration outputs.  Every project put forward for consideration will need to demonstrate value for money and this will be central to the scrutiny applied by the Panel.
