Bydd sawl agwedd i’r gwaith hwn, ac yn ddiweddar rydym wedi cyhoeddi gwaith ymchwil arDulliau seiliedig ar le o ymgysylltu a chefnogi cymunedola fydd yn llywio’r cam nesaf. Er enghraifft, mae asedau lleol megis canolfannau cymunedol, ardaloedd gwyrdd a safleoedd treftadaeth o bwys mawr i lawer o gymunedau. Mae ein Rhaglen Cyfleusterau Cymunedol wedi darparu dros £41miliwn ers 2015 i helpu cymunedau ledled Cymru i brynu, datblygu a gwella adeiladau lleol ac ardaloedd gwyrdd hollbwysig. Rydym hefyd wedi gwneud ymrwymiad cadarn i gefnogi trefniadau i drosglwyddo asedau cymunedol a chefnogi datblygiadau a arweinir gan gymunedau drwy ddarparu fframwaith cymorth sy’n rhoi cyngor, arweiniad a chyllid. Mae yna heriau o’n blaen – bydd methiant Llywodraeth y DU i wneud iawn am gronfeydd strwythurol pwysig a gollwyd o’r UE yn effeithio ar lawer o gymunedau a grwpiau trydydd sector. Er na all Llywodraeth Cymru ailsefydlu’r cyllid coll hwnnw, mae’n annog ac yn cefnogi ymgysylltu lleol effeithiol pwysig.
There will be many aspects to this work and we have recently published research onPlace-based approaches to community engagement and supportwhich will inform the next stage.  For example, local assets such as community centres, green spaces and heritage sites are of great importance for many communities. Our Community Facilities Programme has provided over £41million since 2015 to help communities all over Wales buy, develop and improve crucial local buildings and green space. We have also made a firm commitment to supporting Community Asset Transfers and community led developments by providing a support framework that delivers advice, guidance and finance. There are challenges ahead – the UK Government’s failure to replace important EU structural funds will impact many communities and third sector groups. While the Welsh Government cannot replace that lost funding, it’s important effective, place-based engagement is encouraged and supported.
