The phrase "in encouragement of" is used to indicate that an action, statement, or gesture is meant to support, motivate, or promote someone or something. It often appears in formal or semi-formal contexts, such as policies, campaigns, or public statements, to show that a measure has been taken to foster a particular behavior, idea, or group. For example, a company might introduce flexible hours in encouragement of a better work-life balance. The expression emphasizes positive reinforcement and the intention to uplift or stimulate progress rather than to compel or force.
