community involvement
At least in US English, this would be a good deal more natural than either "civic advocacy" or "civic engagement" and would seem to reflect what is being referred to by the Spanish term "incidencia cívica."

"Community action" and "community participation" would be other possibilities here.

: this at least sounds natural and means something, and fits in with the following idea of 'empowerment"

effects/repercussions on the community
Hard to tell exactly what this means, but my view is this relates to how the centre affects/will affect (incide en) the community.
DRAE:
incidencia
1. f. Acontecimiento que sobreviene en el curso de un asunto o negocio y tiene con él alguna conexión.
...
3. f. Influencia o repercusión. La incidencia del clima sobre los productos agrícolas.

Robert Forstag
: "Community effects/repercussions" would not seem to constitute "actions to be implemented" (the clear meaning of the Spanish introducing the items subsequently listed). / I think that the intended sense here is "having an impact on" (i.e., the community).

You're right of course and I should have pointed this out, thank you. This isn't an action that can be implemented, but then neither is "incidencia" in any sense of the word as I understand it.

You're right "comunitariio" is a typo and no, I mean, there is no punctuation missing.
Thanks for the observation.
