Improving the health of people living in developing countries was a clear aim of the UN Millennium Development Goals (2000 – 2015), and many Wales-Africa health projects made contributions to this aim. Now the MDGs have now been succeeded by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – adopted by the UN in Sept 2015. There are 17 new SDGs, which seek to complete the ‘unfinished business’ of the MDGs and expand on them.

SDG 3 is to: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, and there are 13 targets under this aim. But the SDGs also focus on topics such as water and sanitation, nutrition, and inequality, which we know are also interconnected with health.

In this Shared Learning Event you will hear from 4 Welsh organisations working on health activities in Africa, and have an opportunity to ask them questions about their work. Hub Cymru Africa will also give a presentation about the grants that have been awarded to health projects in the Hub’s first grants round, and offer advice on making health project applications.

Roedd gwella iechyd pobl sy'n byw mewn gwledydd sy'n datblygu yn nod clir o Nodau Datblygu'r Mileniwm y Cenhedloedd Unedig (2000 - 2015), a chyfrannodd llawer o brosiectau iechyd Cymru-Affrica at y nod hwn. Bellach, mae NDMau wedi cael eu holynu gan y Nodau Datblygu Cynaliadwy (NDCau) - a fabwysiadwyd gan y Cenhedloedd Unedig ym mis Medi 2015. Mae 17 NDCau newydd, sy'n ceisio cwblhau 'busnes anorffenedig' y NDMau, ac ehangu arnynt.

NDC 3 yw: Iechyd da. Sicrhau bywydau iach a hybu llesiant pawb o bob oedran, ac mae 13 o dargedau o dan y nod hwn. Ond mae'r NDCau hefyd yn canolbwyntio ar bynciau megis dŵr a glanweithdra, maeth, ac anghydraddoldeb, yr ydym yn gwybod hefyd sydd yn gysylltiedig gydag iechyd.

Yn y Digwyddiad Dysgu ar y Cyd, byddwch yn clywed gan bedwar o sefydliadau Cymreig sy'n gweithio ar weithgareddau iechyd yn Affrica, ac yn cael cyfle i ofyn cwestiynau am eu gwaith nhw. Bydd Hub Cymru Africa hefyd yn rhoi cyflwyniad am y grantiau sydd wedi'u dyfarnu i brosiectau iechyd yn rownd grantiau cyntaf yr Hub, ac yn cynnig cyngor ar sut i wneud ceisiadau ar gyfer prosiectau iechyd.
