Datblygwyd y cynllun gweithredu mewn ymateb i dri adroddiad a gomisiynwyd ar y cyd gan y ddau sefydliad yn 2020, er mwyn nodi sut y gallent ehangu ymgysylltiad â phobl a chymunedau y maen nhw’n methu’n gyson  â chymryd rhan yn eu gwaith. Ystyriodd Re:cognition, Richie Turner Associates ac Undeb Gwrth-hiliol Celfyddydau Cymru ardal lled wledig dlawd; pobl fyddar ac anabl ac amrywiaeth diwylliannol ac ethnig, yn y drefn honno. Cafwyd eu cyhoeddi ym mis Awst 2021 (https://arts.wales/cy/newyddion-swyddi-chyfleoedd/ymchwil-ehangu-ymgysylltiad). Cyflwynodd pob un broblemau heriol, nid yn unig i Amgueddfa Cymru a Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, ond i bob un ohonom yng Nghymru.
The action plan has been developed in response to three reports jointly commissioned by the two organisations in 2020, to identify how they can widen engagement with people and communities they consistently fail to engage in their work. Re:cognition, Richie Turner Associates and the Welsh Arts Anti-Racist Union respectively considered an area of semi-rural poverty; deaf and disabled people and cultural and ethnic diversity. They were published in August 2021 (https://arts.wales/news-jobs-opportunities/widening-engagement-research). Each raised challenging issues, not just for Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales and the Arts Council of Wales, but for all of us.
