The officeholder also commissioned reports on how local democracy works in Wales, and oversaw pilots on the issue.
The position was retired in September 2024 as a specific role by First Minister Eluned Morgan. The role's responsibilities were passed to other portfolios.
The role was added once again under the ap Iorwerth's administration, with government effectiveness being added to the role.
