As you will see from the Wikipedia entry, these are highly specific local administrative units and it is best to leave it as "commune and cercle" with a brief explanation.

communes and community circles
If this translation concerns West Africa in particular, where I lived for two years, I believe that commune directly translates as it is a local form of government (see my link below). I also believe that "cercles" directly translates in that it refers to discussion circles which are a common practice in West Africa. I would offer the translation: "... transferred from the State to local collectivities via communes and community circles as they pertain to health care."
