Hi Phil,
A question this raises - is there sufficient interest in the topic to
> sustain a Community Group?

We started a community group around development linked data some time ago:
http://www.w3.org/community/dld/
The goal was initially to discuss what is needed to setup a LOD cloud about
data related to development, such as the IATI data, but the group has been
really quiet so far.
If there is interest for it, we could extend/refocus that group to discuss
open (linked) data initiatives in developing countries.
There is also already an open development group at the open knowledge
foundation that is investigating related topics:

Cheers,
Christophe
