Spanish term
deliberadamente
Spanish to English
Other
Government / Politics
From a Paraguayan report on plans for using development funds. I don't understand why it is necessary to use "deliberadamente" here, as it would hardly be by accident. Does it mean "specifically" for the communities mentioned?
Diseñar DELIBERADAMENTE al menos 2 tecnologías apropiadas de sistemas y estándares de calidad del agua y saneamiento, servicios complementarios, etc dirigidas a poblaciones rurales dispersas de la Región Oriental y comunidades indígenas del Chaco Central.

If you do something on purpose (not by accident), you do it purposely. But if you have a specific purpose in mind, you are acting purposefully.

Although I can't find a dictionary reference at the moment, I knos I've seen this translated this way. And it certainly makes sense, detalladamente.

This is a formal term for that.

: This is the meaning, as Daniel suggests: the designs are made specifically for/ on purpose and for the needs of/ those communities

As you say yourself, it's a little redundant here.

I think deliberadamente is in reference to 2 designs as oppose to one.

I feel it is to stress the fact that it should be planned

The use seems simply wrong in the Spanish I speak if it were to mean "deliberately". I do not see a way to design something unintentionally.
However, it could be an adverb referring to the verb "deliberar", "to discuss" or "to deliberate". It still rings slightly false in my ears, but a regionalism is not out of the question (you said it is from Paraguay), and thus at least would not be outright wrong. Plus, it seems to work with the context, a provision for public infrastructure projects.
It´s either that or to report an error in the original.
