We've been setting up DHIS-2 as a health data warehouse and dashboard for Rwanda.  So far it has gone well, but I have found no useful documentation about how to manage admin unit target populations ... crucial for any coverage indicator calculations.

Ideally we'd like to store the populations once per org unit - for example at the year of the national census - and then have a table of parameters such as population growth rate, and breakdowns of % population in each of the major programmatic target groups (e.g. 4.1% expected pregnancies & children <1, 23.6% women of reproductive age, etc..) that can be pulled into indicator calculations.  I've tried to create these parameters as data elements, but I can't seem to use them successfully in the indicator definition screens, nor do I have any idea where the population data should be stored.

Has anyone done this before?
