So the fantasy would be a simple screen cast video using something like HOT task 690 http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/690 since it uses the high resolution satellite imagery, Kevin Bullock's presentation http://vimeo.com/91880883 covers why this type is best to work from, the interesting bit starts 5 mins in to the presentation, locally there have been some clean up issues with lower resolution satellite imagery and mentioning the use of the JOSM building plug in as mentioned by Tom Taylor https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JkiL8wlvJqdVMgGxKXPzF22YzQ-S08Q31zZQna9CTMk/edit
To come back to the original topic I think you need an overview, starting perhaps with a couple of interviews from two or three AID agencies about why the OSM maps are important to them and how they are used. Then flip to the sources of data which are made free to use such as DigitalGlobe, UN place names, and finally a few mappers putting it altogether. Given that the maps are useful perhaps Unicef or someone might have some resources for this? Or the BBC?
