Traweffaith: GeirfaImpact: vocabulary

• Output

• Outcomes

• Impact

• Policy Intervention

• Allbwn

• Deilliannau

• Traweffaith

• Ymyrraeth Polisi

• Asesu neu gynllunio effaith?

• Assessing or planning impact?

Diffinio Cynllunio EffaithDefining Impact Planing

• Nid gwerthuso yn unig.

• Dylid cynllunio traweffaith cyn ymyrraeth polisi.

• Dylai asesu effaith ddarparu gwerth am arian sy’n gymharol â gwerth y prosiect

• More than evaluation.

• Impact should be planned before policy intervention.

• Impact assessment should provide value for money, and be relative to the size of the project.

Deilliannau...Outcomes...

• Cynllunio traweffaith ar sail deilliannau nid allbynnau: canolbwyntir ar effaith ar y gynulleidfa targed

• Gofyn cael gwaelodlin cyn dechrau unrhyw waith newydd

• Plan impact according to outcomes, not outputs: focus is on the effect on the target audience

• Require a baseline before commencing any new projects

Deilliannau o’u cymharu ag AllbynnauOutcomes compared with Outputs

• Deilliannau yn digwydd o ganlyniad i’r allbynnau sy’n rhan o ymyrraeth polisi/grant/gwariant

• Allbwn: Taflen ar addysg Gymraeg

• Deilliant: Ymwybyddiaeth o fuddion addysg Gymraeg

• Traweffaith: Mwy o blant yn derbyn addysg Gymraeg

• Outcomes occur as a result of outputs from policy interventions / grants / expenditure

• Output: Leaflet on Welsh education

• Outcome: Awareness of advantages of Welsh-medium education

• Impact: Increase in the children receiving Welsh-medium education

Sylfaen YstadegolStatistical Foundations

• Ers 2003: darlun fanwl o ddefnydd a gallu iaith.

• Mantolenni ystadegol, arolygon hydredol, dangosyddion ieithyddol, dadansoddiadau cyfrifiad.

• Angen cynllunio prosiectau’r dyfodol ar seiliau ystadegol cryf.

• Since 2003: A detailed analysis of use and ability on a macro level.

• Statistical balance-sheets, longitudinal surveys, linguistic indicators, census analysis.

• Need to plan future projects on a strong statistical platform.

Cyrff GrantGrant Funding

• Darparu tystiolaeth o’r gwahaniaeth mae’r gwaith yn ei wneud i ddefnydd iaith.

• Cynllunio pa wybodaeth sydd rhaid casglu i brofi traweffaith.

• Cyfuniad o ddata meintiol a gwybodaeth ansoddol.

• Provide evidence of the difference funding makes to language use.

• Plan what information needs to be collected to prove impact.

• A mix of quantitative data and qualitative information.
