This paper attempts to answer two research questions. i.e., i) How to define Sustainable Development Value (SDV) from the developing country perspective? and ii) What are the relevant dimensions of sustainable development value that suit the developing country perspective? Relevant literature has been reviewed, and qualitative methodology was utilized to understand the issue. Sixteen in-depth interviews were conducted in this regard. The interviews were then transcribed and analyzed to understand the best ways to define SDV from the developing country's perspective. The findings revealed that the perception about SDV and dimensions vary from a developed country to a developing country perspective. It is expected that this study will contribute significantly to the existing body of knowledge by discussing the sustainable value phenomenon from a developing country perspective. When the consequences of Sri Lankan women migrating abroad are considered it appears that changes occur in individuals, family, community and social activities. These changes may challenge social relation, relationships. On the other hand, these network relationships have a determining influence on the degree of success or failure achieved by them.
