Same context:
# de planes de accion a favor del bienestar de la niñez implementados por las redes comunitarias y/o locales.
# de niños y niñas de 6-12 años que participan activamente en expresiones organizadas en sus comunidades.
When I googled the term I found "organized expressions" but I am not sure if it fits in the context and sounds natural in English.
Suggestions, opions are welcomed.

(special) interest groups
I think it means groups formed to advocate, agitate for, a specific theme or issue, usually in a socio-political context. Quite a few South American texts on the net use the term in the context I suggest.

: Looks right according to the link , but (like many things in education-speak nowadays) it's a rather odd way to express it.

community activities
I like this option for brevity, but you could also use the longer 'organized activities in their communities'.
I don't know if this is it, but it struck me as an option just from context.
You may have already seen that the only hit for this if you google search it with quotes is some educational boilerplate that doesn't fit your context. Good luck!

organisations
It simply means any kind of organisation (or organization if you're from the US), particularly if the text is from Nicaragua.
